Yesterday had the opportunity to attend the River Council
Business Networking event and must admit… I was wrong.

Held at the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens in
Sanford, the folks attending (and operating) were not what I had expected or
were accustomed to. Professional, courteous, respectful, and genuinely
interested are just a few words summarizing the experience.

Together we will make a difference
Together we will make a difference

Thanks to Kate Crockett from ECPI University, our non-profit targeting those who are justice-involved is developing a stronger sense of community and support.

Here’s how I was wrong

  • The event was not a waste of time
  • Folks at the River Council Business Networking
    event care about the community

After the conclusion of the event, multiple business and
individuals approached to share their stories, add to the list of contacts, and
more importantly, prove this organization (and members) possess a human
element.

2nd Chance University partners with
organizations/institutions dedicated to those who have stumbled. Our material
and workshops take advantage of real people, real life, and real issues.

I welcome your stories to be added into our series. If
you chose to share or support, email me directly. For those wishing to
introduce 2CU and our programs into an organization, institution, or facility,
please step forward; together we can make a difference. On this note, I will be
sending out follow-up communications to those giving me their cards at the
meeting…
