GSD Diaries with Angela Proffitt

There’s so many groups, committees and boards that you can choose to be a part of as a business owner, but have you ever thought about why you choose to spend your time with these organizations? What value are they bringing to you and your business? It took me a while to find the right fit for me, but the value I take away from the organization I am apart of is incomparable!

In this episode, I chat with Renee Dalo, owner and lead planner of Moxie Bright Events about how serving on the board of an industry organization has helped her grow her business, what community over competition really means and how to donate your time without losing your mind!
