What is the format of a typical CLT meeting?
We begin every CLT meeting with light networking for guests to meet some of the members and members to catch up with each other. The meeting begins with an introduction of the group and its board followed by personal introductions from each CLT member. We then invite guests to stand and tell us a little about themselves and their profession. At this point each week we alternate activities in an effort to promote our members and provide more intensive collaboration on professional success. The meeting wraps up with final thoughts and CLT news. All of this while eating a delicious meal! We invite everyone to mingle more after the meeting to get to know fellow CLT members.
