What we’re about
This group will provide networking opportunities for those in the Denver metro area with a focus on our shared love of the beautiful outdoors. Networking events will be in or around outdoor venues, and may be accompanied by light outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, swimming, horseshoes, frisbee, etc.
The purpose of this group is to help Denver area outdoor lovers build healthy networks by meeting new people and creating connection with others in and around our natural environment. Activities will be for most fitness levels and focused on conversation and getting to know each other.
Adults of all ages, professions, and skill levels are welcome to attend and network.
Please no unsolicited sales pitches during our events.
NOTE: I try to start and end my events on-time out of respect people's time. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early so as not to hold the group up.
I would also like to find others who are interested in hosting events through this group...so if you are interested in hosting a networking event, please message me.
My Bio - I am a Sr. Portfolio Manager for a large technology company. I have an MBA along with my PMP, CSM, CSPO certifications. I moved to Denver 12 years ago because of the outdoor recreation opportunities and strong economy. I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast and enjoy meeting people and building relationships. Growing my professional network and building a community of like-minded people is one of my goals this year....so here I go :-)
