Each week we showcase a business or individual that cares just as much as about creating better communities as they do about creating wealth for themselves. If you or someone you know would like to be featured send an email to Ask@MyIISense.com with Friday Features Request in the Subject Line. In the body of the email provide the following:
Name | Business Name | Location | Contact # |Primary Business Email Address | Your Background/Why You Started Your Business | Product/Service Offering | How are you/will you be of service to the community | Limit to 300 Words
Your business MUST possess a community outreach component or plans for such a component. Anything that serves as a means of uplifting the community is acceptable.
This Week's Feature: Kevan Ware/Fresh Aire Networking (Tuesday's from 7-10pm @ The Shrine)
There are a lot of networking events out there, a LOT. But Fresh Aire Networking, brainchild of the enigmatic Kevan Ware, somehow manages to standout. First of all, there's actual networking going on. People mingle OUTSIDE of their current circle to inquire of others about their businesses. This is a key factor for me determining if I want to attend the event again. If I'm only going to meet the same people every time I come out, where's the value?
Secondly, Fresh Aire offers some great ear candy (at least during the event this past Tuesday) such as Chicago's own voluptuous songstress Tarrey Torae
who mesmerized the crowd with her soulful voice and captivating beauty. I also spotted Teefa of Power 92 fame and my homie Discopoet Khari B. this past Tuesday showing their support for this fabulous event.
Finally, the venue chosen for this event, The Shrine (Located at 2109 S. Wabash Chicago, IL 60616) was great! The courteous door staff, attentive bar staff and of course the layout were all amazing. The music was a bit loud – for me – for networking purposes but the DJ was point.
Bottom line: if you are looking for a great networking event where you WILL make some quality connections to grow your business then it's a must that you attend Fresh Aire Networking. Join their Facebook Fan Page to stay up to date on this event and be sure to visit Kevan's page as well. See you Tuesday – Happy Networking people!
Have a PERFECT day!
