NO MEETING

December 20, 2023

Thank you for being a part of today’s exercise in ‘speed-dating/speed-networking.’  It is the first time we have done this at the El Paso Club.  It was a fun way to connect with members you may not have ever connected with!  We know it was a little loud, but thanks for hanging in there with us for the fun exercise! 

 

January 3, 2024

Former mayor, John Suthers, will come speak to us about his time as mayor of Colorado Springs and his new book! 

 

Notes from your executive director:

Jenn and I decided to do something this year that hasn’t been done in years, if ever….we awarded a member of our association with ‘outstanding member of the year.’  This person has had perfect attendance, brought more potential members as guests and has sponsored two new members in this calendar year.  We recognize his diligence and desire to continue to make Execs the strongest and best networking organization in the city!  Drumroll….Congratulations to Todd Matia, Harvey Investment Management, Inc..  Enjoy the small tolken of thanks for your successful efforts and all the thought and energy you put forth to make us stronger!  

 

Thank you to the eight members who ran for a seat on our board in today’s election:  Jesse Carillo, Scoop Creative; Mark Copelin, OS Offices; Michael Garrow, Garden of the Gods Club; John Gatto, Crestone Development; Bill Huffor, Furry Friends; Mat LaFleur, Arrow Moving and Storage; Brooke Orist, Sasquatch Cookies; Al Todd, Infront Webworks.
