July Meeting Notes

July's meeting was the best yet!  We had many returning members and new members attend. Please welcome:  Stacey Gordon - Elder Options, Maria Soltan - WowGreen, Julie Stark-JS Consulting, Stacy Repkin- Istoria Publishing, Terri Frydman - Yoga Instructor, & Kathleen Weinberg-Nibbles Play Cafe.

James M. Lynch, JM Lynch Training, was our guest speaker.  He led a powerful mini-workshop on our "story", both personal and professional and then spearheaded a discussion about Mom4Profit's "story"; where we are and where we want to go as an organization.  Everyone signed up for revamped committees that included: Contribution, Sponsorship, Culture/Development, Membership, PR, Legal, Tracking, Events & Chapters.  All members are encouraged to contact Mom4Profit to sign up.

Next meeting will be held at Kim Preston's home, Inviting Designs on August 4th (details to follow).
