I get to meet a lot of great people, mostly without leaving my home. I'm married to the king of business networking and other than shuttling about our three princes, actually two princes and one self-proclaimed puppy of business networking, I don't get away from the computer much. Our two 11 year-old dogs greatly appreciate having me work from home. On a crazy day it's nice to take time for a tummy rub.
Over the past couple of weeks I've been up to my eyeballs in networking research in the Atlanta area. One of the marvelous people I've gotten to know there is Bonnie Ross-Parker from the Joy of Connecting. (Ladies looking for a different approach to business should give her a call.) The former Southeast Bureau Chief for The National NetWorker, Kristen Quirk, came to us via Bonnie. During her time with our ezine Kristen did a two-part series on Freedom Builders. You can still check it out in our archives. Just recently we virutally met Glen Gould, our new Southeast Bureau Chief who serves as the Director of Small to Mid-Sized Business at the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. Welcome to the team!
Another notable networker is Sandra Gardner of Lead-ers Business Network. Sandra runs all 8+ Atlanta chapters personally, so the members can concentrate on networking and not administration. Today I spoke with Ralph Kurland of the Atlanta Business Association which is not only the longest running network in the metro area but atleast half of the group have been members for 10 or more years.
Thank You Atlanta!
