Remember the days of Speed Dating (pre-Match.com days)? You longed to meet someone special, but you lacked opportunity to meet this special someone. Enter Speed Dating - the introductory place to make that first connection. The concept was simple. Meet at a local hotel ballroom. Engage with total strangers, one-on-one for three minutes. Share your best elevator pitch about you. Listen to theirs. Exchange phone numbers (or maybe not). Move one chair to the left and repeat.

Looking back, it sounds a little creepy. But it worked. Our 2021 revamp is a little less creepy and well, we're not strangers, so this'll be a LOT easier.

Chapter Chat LIVE Speed (UP)dating is our way to get to know you again!

Update us on what your nonprofit is doing. How did you fare through the Pandemic? Did you tweak your fundraising approach? Was it successful? What did you get rid of temporarily, permanently? What are you planning for 2021? How has the pandemic impacted your future strategy? Are you looking for partners in this highly competitive, yet collaborative climate? Have you revamped your Elevator Pitch? This is the time to practice! It promises to be really fun and interesting, not awkward and messy. Promise....can we give you our number? Call us if you have a question 607-643-5148.

This networking event will be held outdoors under the pavilion. At this time, masks and social distancing are required, but this may change with CDC & NYS recommendations.
