Arkansas Wasteland Group

[EricTheGeek]

Well, it appears Arkansas is a wasteland when it comes to find fellow #tc10 folks. If anyone out there is in the NWA area, I would love to team up.

Im not in AR anymore, but I went to school in Fay and still have friends in NWA, if that helps

If you can't find enough people for your group, please consider joining the Midwest group. We are breaking off into sub groups with "The Ozarks" being one of those sub groups. You would most likely fit in there pretty well.

I've got 3 or 4 friends interested in doing the challenge here in Northwest Arkansas. You're welcome to join us. I'm pretty active on Twitter at @ccondray. What's your Twitter name so I can contact you.

Thanks!

Collin- How are you planning to organize a NWA team? Google Groups? I've heard 4-5 people is best number. Someone else suggested getting geographical diversity but maybe it's better to concentrate this first year with a local group. Advice?

Do we need to create an NWA Arkansas Group and get everybody on it? Also, is there going to be another one of Ed's lessons on how to organize local groups?

this just depends on how dedicated everyone is. I can create a group for us via Facebook if everyone would like to join. If not, I'm cool with sticking with the challenge solo.

I'm not that familiar with Facebook and especially its use for business so if you build it I will come. Whatever anyone can teach me about the use of social media in business marketing I will listen like a sponge. I want to teach this to my MBA Marketing students and class is a month away! I set up a LinkedIn Group for us to use then found there already is one in NWA. Guess I need to learn LI capabilities as well. Learning curve is steep. Also set up a Google Group which I've used for team document control and communications along with Docs which works great. Again, I'd like to go with Facebook.

Not sure how many are joining this group. I am in south Arkansas and would love to join if there is a spot.

[chancechapman]

I think as long as you know how to call the hogs, you should be welcome in this group.

I'll create a FB group tomorrow and will help anyone who is not familiar with how to use it. I'm about to start doing live webinars with my company, so if you'll bear with me on figuring out the INS/outs of doing the webinars, I guarantee I can teach you.

I'd love to hear more about your MBA course. I got my undergrad in entrepreneurship and don't think I'll be getting an mBA, but I love talking business.
