FINAL FRIDAY FORUM 2010
“Just six short years ago, Final Friday Forum began as a simple gathering of 12 business people. It was designed to be a way for Dancing Elephants to give back to the business community. It has grown monthly and evolved into something much greater than we ever imagined,” said Tim Moore, principal and owner of Dancing Elephants Achievement Group. “In fact, our January Final Friday Forum with Wendy Coulter had an attendance of over 100 local business owners and professionals. We are grateful to the speakers for 2010. They are a testament to the talent available in the Triangle.”
Final Friday Forum is typically held on the last Friday of every month from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Business Networking Center located at 649 Walnut Street in the Village Square Shopping Center in Cary. For information on becoming a speaker or an event sponsor, call (919) 460-6909.
