A searchable External Consultant Directory is now available for the public to view.  Some of our members are consultants who want to share their availability with potential clients  searching for a talented consultant.  Please visit this new page:  Find a Consultant under the Resources navigation menu tab above.  Members who want to be added to this page need to update their profile and privacy settings.  If you need help, email: website@goodnetwork.us.

IMPORtANT MEMBER POLL RESULTS 

In the recent poll of members about returning to in-person meetings, 23% of respondents are ready and eager to attend in person.  About 33% want to stay virtual and others indicate a "wait and see" or "depends on location."  Because an in-person audience would be quite small, the October meeting will be on Zoom.   The Board will continue to assess and plan for 2023.
