NWAEL Legacy Mastermind Groups Connecting NOW! If you are committed to personal growth, to being the best person you can be, whether at work or at home, there is no better place for you to achieve these goals than in a mastermind group.
What is a mastermind group? A small group of like-minded individuals coming together in a spirit of harmony, unselfishly committing to help each other be all they can be. Mastermind groups are often formed around particular purposes or hobbies, such as leadership development, becoming a better parent, or hiking in Arkansas. Generally, participants will have a definite objective in mind, such as creating stronger companies, enjoying their children more, or improving their kayaking techniques.
Now, not everyone who joins a mastermind group wants to become rich or powerful, but Hill's comment points to the power of what can happen when a group of committed individuals focus their energy on helping each other grow.
If you are serious about personal growth, building friendships, and helping others, why not join a mastermind group sponsored by the Emerging Leader's Legacy Workgroup?
To get started, simply click here to help us understand your mastermind group preferences. ________________________________________________ | |
2014 Republican Candidate Gubernatorial Forum Scheduled for March 25
CANCELLED
Due to changes in the Arkansas Governor's race, leaving us without a full candidate panel, we have decided to cancel the Gubernatorial Forum scheduled for March 25th. The aim of the forum was to provide a meaningful discussion among all of the Republican candidates in the race for Governor. With that goal, we hope to present forums that will provide this opportunity for you to hear directly from the candidates after the primary season.

SUSTAINABILITY GROUP ASSISTING WITH NWA vs HUNGER!
On March 7 and 8 NWA vs Hunger will utilize 2000 volunteers to pack 500,000 meals for hungry families in NWA. The Sustainability Workgroup has partnered with the event to help reduce the waste over the 2 days. If you are interested in assisting with this, please contact Craig Overton, workgroup chair.
The Sustainability Workgroup continually brainstorms and seeks ways to make NWA a greener, more efficient environment.

If this is something you're interested in helping out with, contact Craig Overton.
