That's where we organize everything and you can get a sense for what's happening. Our member lead sessions were last winter called Winter of Learning--if you scroll back far enough in the group, you'll see them. http://meetup.com/coherecommunity. I'd also like to stress--what our members enjoy/ed, yours might hate so just make sure your programming is member-driven when it comes to putting stuff on the calendar. :) Angel On Aug 19, 10:07 am, VeelHoeden <[email protected]> wrote: > We're really trying to engage some of our more dynamic members into > sharing their expertise on different topics areas as part of a lunch & > learn or after hours sort of training session this fall.
