Ready to meet your next business partner, mentor, a future hire, a new boss, bandmate, running partner, client...? We've started a free Slack community that will virtually pair you up with others in the local community to network, learn, and make friends! Sign up for free here: https://join.slack.com/t/growingglensfalls/shared_invite/zt-cs2oauh1-HdT3If5Y9w_1_P3~G9rBNQ

Every two weeks, you'll get notified of who you're paired with. At that point, you can decline to meet or proceed with scheduling to meet over video chat, a socially-distanced coffee or however you both decide! It sure does take away the awkwardness of having to walk up to strangers during an event (before COVID times of course)!

Slack is where work flows. It's where the people you need, the information you share, and the tools you use come together to get things done.
