Personally, I'm passionate about helping others and actively volunteer in many civic and community events. Public Safety is a very high priority for me.

Membership Tips
IMG_Be a Connector

Be A Connector!

People appreciate introductions to someone who may be a benefit to their business.

Next time you are at a function, make note of the businesses that are attending, how can you help by connecting them? When you are discussing with a business owner their needs for a service or product, if you can't help them -find someone who can.

Make a point of connecting the parties by introducing them to each other. Being a connector is appreciated by all parties and will be remembered.

Givers Gain!
