Agenda

Greeting & Introductions

Each week we begin with an opportunity for members and guests to share about their business and themselves. We go around the room and each member and guest has 45 seconds to share 3 things:

  1. Name
  2. What You Are Grateful For
  3. Your Business & How We May Gift A Business Referral To You

Business Referral Gift Sharing

Members have this time to share the Business Referrals they have received from a group member or guest in the past week.

Gift Spotlight

The P.E.T. (Passion, Experience, Trait or Talent) Gift Spotlight opportunity from a Gifts & Giving member is an exciting part of the meeting where relationship building begins. We get to know the members on a deeper, more interesting level!

Group Discussion

In the Group Discussion, we separate into groups and discuss our businesses, and each person’s P.E.T. (Passion, Experience, Trait or Talent) Gifts. Members & guests learn commonalities among their P.E.T Gifts and exchange business contact information.

Business Keynote Speaker

The Business Keynote is the highlight of the meeting! A Gifts & Giving member shares their P.E.T. (Passion, Experience, Trait or Talent) Gift, information about their business and how we may gift them with business referrals!

Service Project

Each month, the industry group that Gifts the most Business Referrals, selects a Service Project that we collectively gift our time to!
