Barnabas aka Rainmaker

I attended a very interesting networking group this morning.  It wasn't a typical business group where people are looking to make connections and make a buck. It had a philanthropic focus and the attendees were there to see if they could help someone else make connections, raise funds and be successful in their nonprofit venue. 

The idea is that once a quarter, three speakers present their organization's vision, goals and needs.  Then, during the breakout sessions, we, the audience, participate in small group discussions in ways to best fulfill those needs.  It was interesting, exciting, challenging and fulfilling.  I hope to make this a regular habit.  It's right up my Barnabas alley. I really get a kick out of making connections to help others succeed..  Just call me Rainmaker.
