UWABC Networking Breakfast
I had the opportunity to be the presenter at the monthly UWABC meeting in Salt Lake City, UT. I decided to use the presentation time to co-create a poem. First, I gathered information from those in attendance according to the order form. Next, I wrote a poem using the expressions from the group while attendees did their 60 second sound bytes. Then I read the poem back to the group. Here is a quick description of the UWABC and the poem we co-created at the August 2009 Networking Breakfast.
The Utah Women’s Alliance for Building Community (UWABC) acts as an umbrella organization connecting people from diverse occupations, professions, and organizations to share business interests, build relationships and influence positive community change.
At the UWABC Networking Breakfast
we come to realize our common interests
We are an eclectic mix of powerful women
and lest we forget a few great men
You can meet new people outside your career
and learn to get past that public speaking fear
We are given a morning filled with inspiration
for such accomplished folks we have high admiration
You can sample from others and gain a new notion
for your business growth it is a majic potion
Like the spokes of a wheel here we are connected
and out from this hub our community is affected
For volunteer efforts we are the first to cheer
and we give out awards in October each year
A small starting business is nurtured and showered
and we all get to see how the garden is flowered
When your cup is empty you can come get your fill
where the food is good and the parking essential
It’s a classy environment so open and inviting
and many presentations can be quite exciting
So when you go from here and see us around
remember this connection where new friends are found
