Meet Entrepreneurs at Walsh Affinity Groups
Business owners and leadership team members are invited to join Walsh affinity groups. The groups are education-based, where members learn from one another through experience-sharing. Walsh Affinity Groups provide a confidential forum to share information and discuss solutions to problems with business peers. Groups are led by facilitators who establish norms of behavior such as complete confidentiality; no sales allowed; no lead generation; and networking only as a by-product.
EXISTING GROUPS
Second Stage CEOs
If your business exceeds $750,000 in annual sales and employs at least 8 people, then this group is for you. Members discuss philosophical topics like corporate culture, along with tactical topics such as employee benefits and hiring. Marketing and operations are always on the table. Meetings are held at the Walsh Troy campus the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 a.m. for two hours. You must contact Jan Hubbard to receive an invitation to this meeting. jhubbard@walshcollege.edu.
Owners and Entrepreneurs
This group is mostly made up of consultants and sole proprietors who discuss issues of running a small business. Members are concerned about growth. Meetings are held at the Walsh Novi campus on the second Thursday at 8 a.m. for 90 minutes. Contact jhubbard@walshcollege.edu for information on the next meeting.
