Masterminds

Masterminds are groups that comes together on a semi-monthly basis for the purpose of problem solving, brain-storming, networking, and encouraging and motivating each other.  They share ideas, thoughts, information, feedback, and resources.  By getting the perspective, knowledge, experience, and resources of the others in the group, you can move beyond your view of the world and can advance your own goals and projects more quickly.

Social & Business Networking

Social and Business Networking activities are scheduled each quarter with the goal of building relationships and business knowledge between the members.  Based on the idea that, “you don’t have to know everything – you just have to know someone who does”, social/business networking allow members to discover the wealth of resources available in other members.

Members and prospective members can join us for our monthly Refresh Social. There is a standing schedule for the last Wednesday of each month from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. Additional events are scheduled as opportunities arise. Check our Facebook page for updates!
