Howdy all! I'm excited to have been alerted to this group via <@U04D81RPJ12>'s LinkedIn post - though I'm sad about the post, I have no doubt that we'll all help her land somewhere awesome! Anywhoo... I'm a 20+ year veteran event and customer marketer from NI/Dell/IBM and now run my own company called The Community Factory where I help marketers connect through our own communities and consult on creating more community-driven experiences for their corporate events. :bell: <https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizlathan/> :computer: <http://www.thecommunityfactory.com|www.thecommunityfactory.com> :earth_americas: Austin, Texas My Communities: :japanese_castle: <http://www.weareichi.com|www.weareichi.com> :mega: <http://www.teamcmo.com|www.teamcmo.com> :girl: <http://grown-up-girls.club>

Hi Liz, thanks for joining. @Leslie Barrett is awesome. She will kick butt in a new place soon, I’m sure.

I’m excited that you are another community builder, and came here. I’ve seen so much growth for community with customer marketing. I’d love to chat sometime.

Hutto, but have car, will travel!

Stephanie Brewer August 11, 2023 at 07:50 PM

Ok we should meet in the middle! I'm in Canyon Lake, but also willing to drive. I have a membership at the UT club on campus if you ever want to meet for lunch and work from there!
