Ok, now for some more really exciting stuff.
A few months ago we started kicking around the idea of starting a blog for a few reasons:
1) in order to bring knowledge to our members
2) In order to enhance our online presence
3) In order to increase our membership base
We’re excited to announce that the blog has finally come to fruition. We have enlisted the help of the professional community and beginning this week expert bloggers from the areas of finance, venture capital, law, personal finance, real estate, and other areas will be posting about whatever they feel would be important to young finance professionals.
We are also looking for more bloggers so if you would like to be one of our bloggers or know somebody who would like to be one of our bloggers please let us know through the contact page.
In addition, we are looking for an in kind sponsor to help with the website. If you or anyone you know would be willing to help me add a few more features and maintain the site please let me know.
