The local IDSA leadership; Hali Nacdimen and Clinton Denlinger have approached HIVE13 on our interest in hosting a joint meeting. We met again at our open house last weekend, They were favorably impressed and confirmed their interest.

Together, Clinton and I outlined a plan.

This a great opportunity for HIVE13 to connect.
