Sept 15 – 1G Network Launch meeting
Whether you’re a member of Bethany or not. Whether you’re employed, unemployed or under-employed and looking for the ideal work. Or whether you’re a manager, an entrepreneur or an executive looking for help solving an issue or a sounding board to brainstorm with… The 1G Network can help you and you can help the 1G Network.
The 1G Network is a network of action. A network of motivation and idea generation. A network of individual pursuits fueled by the collaboration of peers that care. You’ll learn from and personally get to know fellow members with professional pursuits similar to yours.
The 1G Network will meet weekly. Each session is just 1 hour and 15 minutes. Each Wednesday we get started promptly at 7am in the Great Hall and end promptly at 8:15am. Just show up and introduce yourself. The meetings do have structure to ensure the value of each session. But at the same time, this is a creative environment that fosters openness and contribution among each other. We welcome ongoing feedback and suggestions for improving the effectiveness of the sessions.
