The LocalFirst gathering last Tuesday was a marvelous show of community and supporting one another. The online gathering was attended by half seasoned, experienced leaders and half new leaders. While the topic was Engaging and Retaining Members, the conversation covered many topics and ideas.

But the best part was the sharing and support. Ideas that worked and those that didn’t, advice and different ways of thinking ruled the day. This event turned into a serious Q&A as new leaders soaked up wisdom from experienced leaders. It almost became boot camp for new IBA leaders!

But perhaps the ost important part was I think everyone walked away feeling part of something larger and knowing peers who have your back. And that is invaluable. Find ourt for yourself at the next gathering. Stay tuned for date and topic and we’d love to see you there.
