The Next Best Thing

This exciting program is for you, the innovator of an idea for a new business or service to present that idea to a group of independent businesspersons who will provide a "sounding board" for your idea.

Imagine gathering input from persons with hundreds of years of collective business experience!

Here's how it works: You submit a brief description of your idea to the membership. They will discuss it at their next weekly meeting and will respond to you either with a presentation date - it will be during a regular Tuesday meeting (between 7:15 and 8:30) or with a "no thank you". You will have 10 minutes maximum to present your idea. Following your presentation, we will go "around the room" and each member will have an opportunity to offer his/her comments. Following the meeting, you can obtain more details from members who wish to remain and comment further.

You will gain new perspectives on your idea from current businesspersons in the community who have "been there".
