“We exist to educate and provide shared opportunities amongst ourselves as suppliers to one another or as partners to users of our services”. Our success will be measured by how well we perform in three key performance areas. 1) Providing a good educational component offered either by a member addressing us, or a guest speaker either from industry or related significant interested party. 2) Providing access to and assistance with business opportunities. 3) Sharing of opportunities which would be of interest to others regardless of whether the person bringing the opportunity can participate, Kirby said.
At the end of the day, our goal is to educate, support, and assist others and ourselves by jointly sharing knowledge and best practices.
