why a new org? • founding premise: to help member businesses accomplish their
missions, not ours
• because it’s too tough out there to go it alone
• it’s not people working together to build something new
• it is people working together in subservience of our member company goals (i.e. like a “barn raising” not building a “town hall”)
• it’s not working to fill time or a lack of life’s purpose
• it’s working to get things done in hopes of providing value to member companies (like my own, or your own)
• if our companies aren’t all stronger a year from now this organization will have not accomplished our mission
