Driving Growth from the Inside-Out with Adam Brotman

 
Most brands say retaining customers is their top marketing priority, yet they continue to focus their resources on new customer acquisition -- trying to grow their business from the "outside-in."  Adam Brotman, CEO of Brightloom, will share how consumer brands can grow their business from the "inside-out" by activating their digital ecosystems and owned channels to create predictable and sustainable business growth.

Resuming the Discussion on “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo

Wednesday, May 27 at 11:00 am

 
The Peacebuilder Committee Book Club is resuming the discussion of “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo. Like the initial discussion in February, it will be led by Paula Houston with small group breakouts. “White Fragility” is a New York Times best-selling book exploring how racism as a practice is not restricted to ‘bad people’ and the counterproductive reactions even the best-meaning people can have when their assumptions about race are challenged. Your Peacebuilders Committee invites all Seattle 4 Rotary members to join us in this read and discussion. Click here to find the book on Amazon.

All you have to do is:

    1. Name
    2. Phone number
    3. What you need help with (i.e. groceries)
    4. Your neighborhood (so volunteers can choose requests that are most convenient for them)
Once you submit the request, volunteers will receive an email and someone will contact you in a timely manner to lend you a hand.
