The Commissioned Society
September 24, 2026
Welcome to the Beginning.
Tonight is about meeting your fellow Board Members, understanding where we're going, and beginning to build relationships, visibility, and opportunities together.
More than networking.
Be ready to share:
Your Name & Business
What do you help people with?
Who is a great customer/client for you?
What could you use help with right now?
“I'm here to help you, not to sell you.”
Be present.
Be helpful.
Answer questions.
Start conversations.
Share expertise.
Support other Board Members.
Recognition → Familiarity → Trust → Opportunity
How can AI help you:
What could AI take off your plate?
Use the room.
While everyone else is talking, ask yourself:
“Who do I know?”
If you can make the connection — make it.
Don't only watch for opportunities for yourself.
See someone asking for a service represented by one of our Board Members?
TAG THEM. CONNECT THEM. INTRODUCE THEM.
Help someone.
Answer a question.
Start a conversation.
And look for one opportunity to help another Board Member.
What's ONE thing you got out of tonight?
This is where we begin.
