Auburn organizers announce Greater Auburn Collective launch and Oct. 13 town hall on social investment
Summary
Organizers announced the launch of the Greater Auburn Collective on Aug. 18 and an entrepreneurship cohort starting Jan. 2; they also set the next town hall for Oct. 13 to discuss social investment and nonprofit collaboration.
Melissa Johnson and other organizers used the meeting to announce two near-term initiatives. Melissa described a new nonprofit, the Greater Auburn Collective, and asked attendees to note three key dates: an August 18 launch event, an entrepreneurship application deadline on Dec. 15 and a cohort launch on Jan. 2 that will be free for 12 participating businesses.
"The Greater Auburn Collective is a new organization ... we're going to have a launch August 18," Melissa said, inviting business owners to apply for a free entrepreneurship cohort designed to help early-stage ventures with pitching and readiness. Organizers said the cohort will support 12 businesses and would be offered at no cost to participants.
Separately, the group announced that the next town hall on Oct. 13 will focus on social investment and nonprofit engagement; organizers invited local nonprofit leaders to apply to sit on a future panel. The announcements closed with organizers asking attendees to give Google reviews and support neighbors' businesses to boost online discoverability.
