THE AGENDA BELOW APPLIES ONCE WE ARE BACK TO MEETING FACE TO FACE.

Here's the agenda for this Meetup:

Please note we will start promptly at 12:30 pm. Please come at least 5-10 minutes early. That way you will have time to order some lunch and to catch up with other members. You doing this will help ensure that we can start on time and that we will be able to end on time.

1. Hold on to your business cards for now. We will start the meeting by going around the with our 30-second introductions. Give us the basics - your name, your business, why you do what you do, any distinctions about your or your business, and what type of clients/customers are you looking for.

2. After introductions you can announce any workshops, classes, or other events. This is also a good time to do a shout out for an ABNG member with whom you have had a one to one.

3. For the last 10 minutes or so we have our board of directors brainstorming session where you can get support and/or ideas in an area of your business where you may be struggling. People submit questions to the chapter leader who then shares them with the group.

We then end the meeting promptly at 1:30 p.m. Be sure to set up at least one to one meeting with another member before you leave.
