CMC-BC Third Thursdays – Newly Revamped Format!
  

We’ve launched a newly revamped format based on CMC-BC community feedback. Each month, Third Thursdays will feature a rotating guest host who will facilitate a discussion on a rotating topic of their choice. There’s no registration required, there is a standing meeting link, and we will have a shorter timeframe from 4:00 – 5:30pm PT.
 
What’s staying the same:

  • Come when you can, leave when you need to
  • No fee to attend
  • Open to anyone interested in consulting – CMC BC members, CMCs across the country and the world, other consultants, and those interested in consulting!

Thank you to Rob Cupello of Csek Creative for hosting our inaugural revamped Third Thursday. The next Third Thursday will be held on October 16th, hostedby James Grieve of Catalyst Strategies Consulting, focusing on growing your firm through multi-disciplinary advisory.

Save this standing link in your calendar  –  it will be the same every month.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on October 16th from 4:00pm – 5:30pm PT!

Remember to connect with the CMC-BC LinkedIn feed as that is a channel we regularly use.
