    Sorry, have a appointment at same time.

Who attended?

  • 11 attendees
    •  Very cooperative and informative- great speaker! 
    •  DC Attorney Peter Bloom provided an outstanding presentation on the role of legal counsel in the development a small business. Attendees were treated to keen insights on utilizing an Attorney as both a counselor and subject matter expert. 
    •  I like the idea that professionals can get together and network at no cost and share ideas. The protocol of having someone speak for 15 minutes and having a Q&A session is the way to go. 
    •  The meeting was also the same night as the last Presidential Debate. I'm sure this is the reason for the small turn out. However, the speaker was excellent. The other guests were very welcoming and approachable. Our organizer, Edsel Brown, did a great job setting an atmosphere that made me fell welcome and at home. This was my first visit.
