MEETING FORMAT
At this meeting we will have a round table format with an expert at each table. Plan to arrive between 6:00 - 6:30 for check-in and open networking; appetizer bar, drinks (from the hotel bar). After open networking the speakers will be introduced and you will have your choice of which tables you want to visit to hear tips for launching your success! You will have a chance to soak up wisdom from at least 4 different speakers!
LIFT UP! Mentoring Our Sisters
During the course of the night we are going to try something new called Lift Up! There will be a board where you can share a need; for example, maybe you need help understanding Facebook Advertising, or maybe you want to be connected with the head of a certain company. We will take several breaks so you can peruse the requests on this board. If you see one you can help with, tack your business card to it. That's a promise for a 30 minute phone call to Lift Up this other woman and help her get what she needs. (Note this is mentoring free of charge, not a sales opportunity.)
SWAG BAG SPONSORS: Your Chance to Shine Your Gifts!
Our first meeting of the year will also include SWAG! If you have a business or service you would like to promote, now is your chance. When you sponsor our meeting in the SWAG BAG, you'll not only reach attendees with your physical swag in the bag, but you will receive mention in our event promotions, on our Facebook page, and you can include a special offer in an email we are sending to our membership (with links to your website). The exchange for this wonderful marketing opportunity is $25 (plus delivery of swag before the meeting).
CHARITY FOCUS OF THE MONTH
10% of proceeds from the January meeting will go to support The Kindle Project (www.thekindleproject.org). The Kindle Project is a nonprofit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to motivate, empower, and shorten the learning curve for custodial single parents through education, job training, housing, and family planning; and to inspire them to pay it forward to other single parents.
The Kindle Project was founded by Amber Gunn. After working full-time and raising two kids by herself, Amber Gunn understands the unique challenges facing Austin’s single mothers. Despite the loneliness and hardships of single-parenting, Amber remains a perennial cheerleader who believes that “action is the active ingredient that transforms goals into reality.” The Kindle Project is Amber’s way of motivating, empowering, and shortening the learning curve for other single moms through personal encouragement and by teaching them accounting and marketing skills. One of the ways that the Kindle Project gives single mothers a ‘leg up’ is by providing one free real estate listing to a single Texan mom on a monthly basis.
