Hi Kim-Mai,
Are there any meetups on the horizon? I remember there was some talk of a session for brainstorming types of events and fund-raisers. If so, I'd definitely like to participate. Let me know.
Cheers,
Taylor
Hey Kim - it was really nice to meet you! Hope you found your way home safely. Thanks for putting together the meet n' greet and congrats on the big turnout. Look forward to brainstorming soon.
Hi Kim-Mai,
Thanks! It would be great to meet in-person or perhaps have a quick call to talk about how I might help. I'm sure there's a lot to do as the SF team works to launch the chapter.
Let me know if there's a time over the next ~week we might chat by phone briefly.
Best!
