Message from the President

As we start wrapping up this year with our final edition for 2021, we have reached an unbelievable milestone by becoming a 200 member community! This includes our member, Pranith, who watched our meeting while on a flight!

I am so proud of the progress we have made over the last year and we are all benefitting from the fruits of our labor. It brings me such joy to see our members starting to form deeper relationships and helping each other out in new and unexpected ways. I can't wait to see what our progress will be at the end of 2022!
