This list is actually incomplete, but pretty close. All without any real funding or a regular team. That’s pushing 100 events in just five and a half years. That also does not include building a very popular community website along the way. All without ever making a penny off of any of it.
Now for the good news: we are very excited about our first New Board of Directors meeting! We are adding a bunch of people to our BoD (which was only 3) and are really looking forward to finally being able to reach our real potential with the help of these amazing people who have stepped up to help make it happen. #JustKeepMoving via Facebook
