Social Media Breakfast is a learning forum for marketers and small business leaders dedicated to understanding more about the online world of marketing and how to gain traction using the new online social tools available.
Bryan Person first started the event in the summer of 2007 when he kicked off the first Social Media Breakfast in Boston. Since then it has grown to include more than 40 locations throughout the US and the world. New Hampshire has participated in the Social Media Breakfast format since January of 2009 when Leslie Poston of Uptown Uncorked brought the event to New Hampshire.
Various hosts and sponsors have welcomed the event in a number of New Hampshire cities and regions including Portsmouth and the Seacoast area, Nashua, Manchester, and even the Lakes Region.
It’s nice to see birthdays come and go as organizations mature. That’s how ActiveEdge feels about iUGO’s third birthday. Happy Birthday iUGO!
Why do we feel so connected to iUGO Nashua? Well, it’s because ActiveEdge was vital in making iUGO a vibrant part of the Nashua business community. Back when iUGO was nothing more than a glimmer in the eyes of a handful of community leaders, Deepak Gursahaney of ActiveEdge along with several others took a leadership role in forming the now successful young business professional’s association.
As part of the founding team, Deepak was involved personally with everything from the name to the by-laws to the branding. He helped pitch the idea to the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors to gain approval to start the organization under the Chamber umbrella and served as both iUGO’s Chairman and liaison to the Chamber’s Board of Directors during the early formative years.
As a company, ActiveEdge donated design services and technical talents to both design and host iUGO’s first ever website, including all the technical back end programming. We also designed and maintained their in-house email functions and managed the email lists, providing these services free-of-charge to help get the fledgling organization off the ground.
Both Deepak and ActiveEdge have enjoyed watching iUGO successfully grow into an organization in which the community can be proud. At the same time, both realize that it is time to let other up-and-coming young professionals in the community put their stamp on the organization. It is exciting to see other young professionals in the community step in and take the reins in order to keep the organization going strong. We wish Karen Cooper, the current Chairperson, and the entire iUGO team as much fun and success as we’ve experienced over the last three years.
