We’re so excited to enter into our third year of Talking Heads GNV! To kick us off, our first meeting will be our brainstorm session where we'll be asking YOU to share what topics you'd like to hear more about! What struggles/obstacles do you face in your day-to-day? What's a topic you don't fully understand that you'd like to learn more about? What's something you enjoyed hearing about in years past? Come prepared to share what you don't know, and we'll craft this year around what our group would like to learn more about. Here's the details:
First Meeting of 2018!
Talking Heads Brainstorming Session
January 26, 2018
7:30-9:00
Front Street NEW Office
132 NW 76 Dr, Gainesville, FL 32607
We've also got lots of exciting updates and things to share, so be sure to help us start this year off with a bang! Coffee and snacks will be available as always. And please be sure to RSVP either by the calendar invite, to virginia@frontstreet.net or via the Facebook event! We hope to see you there!
Same Time, NEW Location:
We’ll still be meeting on the last Friday of every month from 7:30-9:00 in the morning, that won’t change! But we will be changing the location of all future meetings to Front Street's NEW office. They'll be located at 132 NW 76 Dr, Gainesville, FL 32607.
New Communications Format:
We’ve started a Mailchimp account to better communicate with our fans and members! We’ve signed up everyone that’s been on our prior mailing list, but if you're new or you'd like to register a different email, please subscribe here! This format of communication also gives the option to unsubscribe from our mailing list. We’d hate to see you go, but we understand that the option is important! As always, please let us know of ways we can continue to improve!
New Membership Options:
For the first time ever, we’re offering new membership options! We understand that not everyone can make it to every meeting. We also understand that some of you have family and work family that would also like to attend meetings, so we’re now offering “Family & Work Family” rates for our annual membership plan. Here’s how it works:
- Individual Plan – Attendance for 1 at each meeting: $100 Annually
- Family & Work Family Plan – Attendance for up to 2 at each meeting: $150 Annually
- Family & Work Family Plan – Attendance for up to 3 at each meeting: $200 Annually
Your first two meetings are still on us, but after the first two, please be sure to sign up for a membership if you’d like to continue attending meetings. For the “Family & Work Family Plan” we simply ask that the other attendees in your group membership be either family members or co-workers. Also, please feel free to bring a guest that you think might be a good fit for our group, they’re also allowed two free meetings! Online payments are still available as normal, take a look at our membership page to learn more!
New Content:
Also new this year are a few website changes and the introduction of our blog! As you visit the website, you’ll see that some of the options have changed, but for the most part it’s still the same. We’ve also created a few blogs for our members and fans to enjoy! Check them out when you have a chance, here’s what’s new:
- Our Story - How Talking Heads GNV Began: learn all about how this group came to be, and why we’re passionate about what we do!
- Year One Wrap-Up: Take a stroll down memory lane and review all the great speakers and presentations we experienced throughout our first year, there’s some great pictures too!
- Year Two Wrap-Up: Check out all the great meetings we had in 2017 and take a look through some of the great pictures!
- What is a Talking Head?: This is sure to be one of our favorites! We get this question a lot, so we decided to make an infographic! Take a look and let us know what you think!
Facebook Group-to-Page Transition
Since we’re growing and no longer a “closed” group, we’ll be transitioning away from the Facebook Group and we’ll be utilizing our new Facebook Page - be sure to like us! We'll update this section as more information becomes available!
