2. What we’re about…
Our mission…
GETDOT is an extraordinarily social networking group that brings together like-
minded people in a fun and energetic environment that facilitates the development
of friendships through professional relationships and business connections. The
organization’s goal is to provide funding for children’s charities and ongoing support
of the Membership through professional development, education and community
service.
Our purpose…
GETDOT’s purpose is to enhance the lives of children/youths through community
involvement and organization of charitable events. Our further objective is to
encourage the Membership to become active in their own communities both
personally and professionally and encourage others to continually take action by
helping those less fortunate through the group’s business and networking
connections.

3. Our History…
Scott’s Brilliant Idea – “I’ve got a great name
for our new networking group…how does
that sound?”
Chip becomes administrative assistant
We’re off and running…

4. Our History – the beginning…
 At the first GETDOT gatherings, we had very few attendees
 We were just helping friends connect with other friends, business partners and
trusted resources
 Very inconsistent – had informal meetings only when it was convenient for Scott
and Chip…and others…
