Are you job hunting? Come to this meetup. Does your org have open positions? Come and hire someone!
Everyone will get a few minutes to introduce themselves, tell us what their looking for, and ask questions about the job hunting process. Our goal is to share wisdom, support, and opportunities as we all work to feed our addiction to food, shelter, clothing, and cruising.
Feel free to bring resumes to share, get feedback on, and more.
In some respects, this is what muggles might call a structured "networking event." But without the awkwardness and smarminess many of us fear.
Are you interested in public speaking? Come meet with us!
At this event everyone will get 5 minutes of stage time to give a talk about something the learned or relearned in the past year. The idea is to share something valuable to you that you feel may be valuable to others. It could be a tip, a process, a life lesson, a cool travel destination, etc.
The primary goal, though, is to speak in front of a group. The group will also provide feedback about what you did well, and offer some tips on becoming even better the next time.

Hey, there's a dog on the ship! How'd she get here? Why can't I pet her? What happened to the dog from two years ago? What are service dogs, anyway? Rachel (and Echo) will explain the exciting life and training of guide dogs, talk about their adventures, and highlight how service dogs can change lives (and not just by drooling on the mousepad while I type this; thanks, Echo). Want to raise guide dog puppies? We can hook you up. Fans of Salem, Poodle of Destiny will also get an update as to his whereabouts!
