Our last Friday in February, which means we are nearing the end of the first quarter of 2024. So what are you focusing on during this time of year? Reviewing processes maybe? Identifying opportunities to provide value? Whatever your focus, there are likely conversations about it on GGR. Be sure to check out the Search feature to see what others have been saying. And if you can't find anything, start the conversation with a post!

🗨️ GGR CS Leadership Office Hours

The GGR Leadership Office Hours are a great way to connect with your peers through conversations about leading CS topics.

Wondering if it is worth it? Here is some feedback from our latest event:

These present a unique opportunity to bounce ideas off other professionals. The format is great, just enough of a start to get us in the right mindset, time for collaboration and close with key takeaways. Thank you for hosting these, I look forward to more!

Our 2024 schedule is now available here, and our next meetup is Thursday, March 7th and will be focused on Enablement and led by Jeff Heckler.

Now Launched! CS Leaders Group

Are you a CS Leader who has been missing the ability to connect directly with other leaders? GGR hears you and wants to help. In this new group, members are vetted before being allowed to join, ensuring that you 1) know that you are talking directly to peers, and 2) have conversations that are not part of the entire GGR membership (your conversations are private!)

If this is something that you would benefit from, take a moment to fill out a quick form so we can review your request and get you in this private area within GGR! Access the form here.
