GSDBA Affinity Groups

If you have ever received a valuable business tip or pearl of wisdom from a mentor, a co-worker, or even a competitor, you know the value of talking with like-minded people.  Now multiply that by 25 or 50… that is the power of your Affinity for Business Group,  but only if YOU participate. 

Currently we have five groups (see the links to the left)

PURPOSE:  The Affinity for Business Groups program is designed to provide professional development for members in the same or related professions.  The focus is to support one another within a specific professional field and to help participants to bring their businesses to a new level.  The groups will meet once a month. The format of each group will be decided by the group and should ideally include significant time for the exchange of ideas and information.  Groups may choose to include guest speakers and/or group member presentations on topics of interest.

Some goals:

·        Provide a forum for exchange of information and mutual support.

·        Engage members in professional development by capitalizing on the varied abilities within the group.

·        Bring in outside expertise/training when indicated.

·        Share information on recent developments in a particular field such as computer programs, legislative changes, training courses/workshops, resources and marketing ideas.

·        Create lasting strategic partnerships and business friendships.

·        Share individual successes.  Bring challenges to the group for discussion and advice.
