TAG North Metro
The Gwinnett & North Fulton Chambers of Commerce have joined forces with TAG to offer a new monthly series, under the banner of “TAG North Metro”. The motivation behind the initiative was TAG’s growing membership northeast of Atlanta and the desire of the three organizations to work collaboratively to deliver content to the north metro region. These events offer a uniquely intimate setting to network and learn from some of the region’s most influential and strategic thinkers.
Our 2010 theme will focus on “Collaboration and Strategic Partnerships”. Each month an area corporate leader will discuss the importance of collaboration and strategic partnerships, and how these issues have contributed to their strategic growth.
We have asked our speakers to consider discussion content to include, but not be limited to: the importance of collaboration and strategic partnerships; what collaborative efforts and strategic partnerships have been key to their organization; what lessons learned can they share in regards to collaboration and strategic partnership best practices and pitfalls they have learned to avoid.
All meetings are held at Pampas Steakhouse, 10970-D State Bridge Road, John's Creek, GA 30022, and begin at 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Please email michael@tagonline.org with any questions you have!
