Re: Benefits of a Meetup - TargetStars Blog
LaTosha;
You and I have had the opportunity to communicate via Twitter, Skype, etc over the last month preparing for this meet-up but as you state nothing was more inspiring than meeting you and the other ladies that attended our first Illinois Meet-Up.
Meet-ups are a great way to put a face, voice and personality to those 140 characters we are growing accustomed to communicating in these days. The take-away I had from our lunch was: VAs are the greatest most helpful group of colleagues I have had the pleasure of associating with.
VAF has shown this to me during my short time here at the forum but this was re-enforced on Saturday. All of the VAs we met were willing to share their professional and personal experience with each other which not only provides us with information but also inspiration and a sense of belonging.
Thank you Dawn, Doreen, Kathy, Kathy and LaTosha for taking time to meet me and share your experience. I really enjoyed our time and look forward to seeing you and meeting more of our fellow Illinois VAs in the months to come.
If you are considering starting or joining a meet-up group, I suggest to do it and enjoy the experience.
