Introducing "MBA Connect"!
Our Membership Committee is working hard to find additional ways to increase our member engagement, retention, and interest. Many of you will remember our Power Team meetings of the past. These have not been working in the past few years, so we're trying something different.
MBA Connect is a casual, social, networking event. We select an MBA Member as the 'host' for the event, and they choose the day, time, and location. We're aiming to schedule these on the second week of the month, so that we are not asking you to attend more than one meeting in a week. (Member meetings are first and third Thursdays, Open Houses are typically on forth Thursdays.) Some of these will be happy hours, others will be coffee or lunch meet ups. Everyone will be on their own tabs so there is no obligation on the host.
Wendi Mueller is hosting our April MBA Connect! She's selected Stanford in Clackamas from 4-6 pm. Join her for happy hour or pop by after work to say hello.
Please feel free to reach out to Jocelyn if you would like to host an MBA Connect.
Let's head down to Salem to visit the new 1525 warehouse. 2025 is a big year for 1525, so let's celebrate them and see where the magic happens. We will visit the warehouse for the open house from 1 - 3:30 pm; take a break for dinner; them meet up at the Salem Armory for the Basketball game at 5:30.
The Salem Capitals are playing the Great Falls Montana Electric. The theme is a Pajama Party and teddy bear toss (you can wear your jammies!). The event is also supporting Liberty House, a child abuse advocacy center for Marion and Polk Counties.
