January 21, 7:45am: The NEW Rotary Business Exchange
Circle City Networking / Rotary Business Exchange meetings will be held at Paradise Cafe in Castleton on the first and third Tuesdays of the month from 7:45am to 8:45am. The next meeting to be on January 21.
Circle City Networking is a group that Chairperson John Dewey started in 2012. Classifications are restricted and membership is by invitation only (contact: jedewey[at]me.com). If the group becomes too large, then a second group may be formed. Visitors are encouraged however only one visitor per calendar year.
CCN’s format is simple: Each member has 4 minutes to present in this format – 2 minute story about a client you helped describing the situation, 1 minute describing connections you would like relating to the story, 1 minute for the group to give feedback on that story or how you helped them since the last meeting.
We keep SCORE! We run a spreadsheet on who attends, connections made, business obtained from said connections and the overall activity of each member. If a member fails to attend, contribute and make a difference then their seat is opened up for another person to fill. Like the Pacers or the Colts, we keep a very active bench. At the end of the quarter, the best networker gets to take home the traveling trophy for the next quarter.
