Open Mind

Bring your open mind. You may already know about the topic on hand- If so, look for new ways of thinking about it.

Positivity

Come with a positive attitude. You’ll get what you put in and you’ll get more as an active participant.

Say Hi!

We’re all in this together. Find a buddy and grow with us together.

Cause Support

We regularly poll our members on the latest issues that effect the quality of life of our community and make a public stance in support or against.

Candidate Support

While we’ll support causes, we have a strict political policy ensuring that the organization does not endorse any specific candidate or political party.

Solicit-Free

We encourage a solicit-free environment at all of our events to help you build relationships first. Leave the heavy sales pitch at home.
