Special thanks to Corina Rose for hosting this month's member meet-up. We did some great networking and got the ball rolling on planning some awesome showcases in the coming months, including the first annual Lady Brain Fest, which will feature a 100% womxn-fronted lineup! Most importantly, we learned a lot about what kinds of resources and support members are looking for. Thanks to all attended - we can't wait to grow with you!
