2nd Chandler Guild Meeting

Chandler Guild Training Ground | All SIG News | Chandler Best Business Practices

According to Mike's website, Soyawax, the 2nd Annual Chandler Guild Meeting is August 21 and 22. I'm rather surprised and dismayed that it wasn't announced on or through this site.

2nd Annual Guild meeting

Jerry, that date was posted right after the first meeting ended.... but then some Guild participants suggested that they would like to meet earlier in the summer. Many Guild particpants are still discussing a final date. No final date has been set. When do you want to meet?

Summer is coming fast so we all need to decide and set a date soon.

We need input to set a final date.

Mike, might I suggest that you then take it off the Soyawax site so that others don't get confused?

As far as when to meet, the only "discussion" I have seen concerning a final date has been the poll that was up on this site and so far only 26 people have responded. I am also questioning the purpose of another meeting based on my perceived lack of anything happening as a result of our first meeting. I have yet to see or hear much activity from either the SIGs or the Table of Twelve... maybe you folks have been communicating and accomplishing great things, but I don't think anyone outside your circles know about it (thus my perception and lessening enthusiasm).

Working on ending the dormant period...

Hi Jerry,

Please see my comment in response to Amanda's inquiry about what's happening (or more accurately not happening). Also, see our recent announcement about what's ahead.

Bottom line: Burn out, bad timing and lack of funding bit us in the butt following the wildly exciting accomplishment of holding our first annual meeting. So, no, you are not under-informed about anything that might be going on behind closed doors. There simply hasn't been anything going on.

We're working on re-energizing the developmental phase of building the Guild. As this moves forward, it will be an open and participatory process, so you'll know what is happening by it being visible here on the web site.

Hope this and the links provided help answer your question,

* P.S. FYI - About as far as we've gotten with the Table of Twelve is to elect me as the Business Chair and Brian Bock as the Craft Chair of the table. The holiday season then sucked the life out of the T12 activities as folks had to attend to their income-producing businesses.

2nd Annual

I cannot find that on the Soyawax site. Where did you see it?
