We’re excited to say that the one-and-only Men Tchaas Ari, president and CEO of Communities In Schools of Charlotte-Mecklenburg (CIS), will be our featured speaker in August. CIS’ mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. This is vital work that takes tons of creativity!

When it comes to building a career as a creative entrepreneur, everyone needs a circle around them, people who can help you access funds, experience, advice, resources and other creatives. And, everyone has the capacity to be an ally, a mentor, a connector or a resource for someone else.
That’s what Charlotte Reciprocity Circles (CRC) is – an opportunity to connect with creative allies and share your social capital. At each event, we break into moderated circles of 15 people. In turn, each person in the circle is invited to share one goal they have and one obstacle or need they have to achieve that goal. Ask for what you need. Share the resources you have.
EVERYONE in the circle has valuable social capital to share.
EVERYONE taps into their experience to help another.
EVERYONE leaves with something they need.
We promise you’ll leave inspired, energized and ready to get started with new friends and valuable connections.
