Note from the Publisher-

Greetings-

The newsletter gained 28 subscribers last week and grew by 9%.

Action Step For The Week- Let’s try to find one person in our network to send a referral to this week or match with a referral partner we know that is an ideal referral partner for them.

This is a work in progress so if you have ideas for how to make it better and more useful for you or your organization please just respond to any weekly email. All responses come right to my inbox.

Additionally, if you have an upcoming event or fundraising opportunity for your nonprofit you would like included, please send those to [email protected].

This is a unique community of almost 300 local business and community leaders and growing interested in networking and supporting the community.

Please share this newsletter with others you think would find value and benefit by using the share icons in the upper right of this email or forwarding from the web.

This community is not limited or controlled by the algorithms and AI robots of social media. Every member sees every event, every week. This newsletter is also not written by a robot or AI.

In the coming months, once I get comfortable with the new platform, members of the A2 Networking community will have the opportunity to sponsor this newsletter and share their personal and organizational story and mission in a way that is not currently possible.

To Your Success!
