Nominate your city!

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 by Barbara Weaver Smith
The Whale Hunters will launch local/regional Whale Hunting programs in 12-24 key communities over the next 12-18 months.  After the very successful program launch in Indianapolis in June (175 attendees!),  upcoming cities include Phoenix (September 10) and St. Louis (October).  From there, we seek your input as to which cities come next.   We are looking for individuals and businesses who want to explore how they might be part of the new national community of Whale Hunters.  Local face-to-face programs will be supported by a robust on-line community.

Do you want to help us bring these programs to your city?

Here's what we are looking for:
  • "Creative Class" cities with lots of entrepreneurial activity, well-networked, open to new ideas and hungry for economic development, business growth, and community engagement.
     
  • Local representatives/Chapter Chairs.  Key people with good community connections, strong sales and business development experience, entrepreneurial spirit, to assist in convening the Whale Hunters Launch in your region and to populate and lead one or more local chapters of 12-15 members.  You may be an independent consultant, a coach, a trainer, an entrepreneur? 
     
  • Members of local chapters and prospective attendees at local workshops.  You don't want to lead but would like to see Whale Hunters services delivered close to you at prices you can afford. 
     
  • Sponsors.  National and local business owners, executives, and marketers who want to be in front of The Whale Hunters target audience of small to mid-size business owners, sales executives, and development officers.  We are grateful to Bose McKinney & Evans for sponsoring the Indianapolis summit  and delighted to announce the National Bank of Arizona as our lead sponsor for the Phoenix launch.
     
  • Communication Partners.  National and local organizations that can help us market Whale Hunters events and related opportunities.  Chambers of Commerce, TV and radio, digital broadcast programs, business journals, for sure.  Also local/regional businesses willing to co-sponsor and share their digital database in a mutually beneficial fashion.
I invite you to contact us with any expression of interest.  Now is the time to get in on the ocean floor of the next great wave of whale hunting!
