Sorry to see TTC go away. I enjoyed the sessions I participated in. Thanks for the opportunity. Can wait to see the next big idea from RBC.
Thanks very much to the crew at RBC for the chats and the wonderful suggestions for better chat programs as they evolved. We have been hosting Monday night chats (9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific) since December and it seems enough for our group to only ...
JD, it was organized only loosely enforced. There was a topic tho I can't recall what it was. And I think the chat dealt with it but with a fair bit of off topic or tangential ad libbing thrown in. It's still available in the chatroll.

- Hi Susan - Hope all is well! Your group message on the OpenMic reminded me to reach out to you all. Is there interest among the membership to discuss JobAngels and what we're trying to accomplish? If so, I'd be happy to run a chat session and promote it as well. Let me know as I'm getting a lot of media inquiries but want to ensure you guys don't get lost in all the chaos. Best, Mark
