Note change of address for meeting next door at ECDI's new Women's Business Center (not limited to Women) at
. Signage is clear so it should be no problem finding it. Mayda reinforces that the new facility is excellent and offers access to training rooms, white board, etc.
1.) Check-in
> Always fun to share updates, Comfest workshop (good feedback so far), etc.
2.) Variation on "Local Shop Talk" Interviews
> Paul Gryniuk will be joining us again with an update on his interviews with local business owners. Doug and I followed up with Paul from the last meeting and I am looking forward to his progress report.
3.) Ohio Sustainable Business Council (OSBC)
> I have sent information about the new OSBC and as a board member I want to clarify my role in representing SOLE. Also, some clients working with ECDI and the Women's Business Center may be interested in OSBC membership. Similarly, some of the SBB members who address sustainability issues or operate as triple bottom line companies may be interested in OSNC membership.
4.) Proposal to Offer "Pay as you wish" banner ads on Think Columbus First website
> This offer is being extended to Simply Living's business members, but I need discussion and guidance to offer this option more widely - e.g., to SBB members or ECDI/WBC clients.
5.) Crowd Funding Opportunity?
> If time permits, I would like to discuss an option for SOLE to prepare a crowd funding offer and/or possibly partnering with Simply Living.
See you tomorrow!
