We had our monthly AZPRC meeting last night and discussed quite a few interesting topics. From Shay Carl’s interesting YouTube channel and Kodak promotion to 10 Ways to find blog topics. We had quite the round table (er rectangular) discussion. Amongst the flowing waterfall at Carlsbad Tavern we readdressed the purpose of our gatherings. We started AZPRC to designate time in our busy schedules every month to discuss current trends, help each other out with blogging, speak with other professionals in our field and attend networking groups to grow our network. Since August, we have had guest speakers from local magazines to SEO companies speak to our group about the Phoenix community and their experiences. I am not trying to toot our own horn here, but I am proud to say that I have so much respect for our business community.

We would like to move forward and incorporate a philanthropic dimension to our group and we have identified the Arizona Animal Welfare League as an organization we would like to donate our time and money to. This organization supports animals up for adoption and requests that volunteers help socialize them through the process. Please join us for the volunteer orientation Saturday, May 8th from 9-11am. After the orientation, we will be assigned a particular adoption event whether it be at a Petsmart or local shelter. Please note, you have to attend the information session to learn the process before they allow you to volunteer.

We will continue to RT details in the coming weeks, if you’re interested please email me sarah.geiger27@gmail.com.
