SUMMARY:Mt. Baker SHRM Goal Setting And Achievement Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Setting goals and working to achieve them is a fundamental part of running a business. Goals can act as benchmarks for the growth of a business\, and bring satisfaction and fulfillment to business owners and employees alike. Learning how to set appropriate goals for ourselves and meeting them in the best manner available is a skill which can enrich our business and personal lives. The Mt. Baker chapter of the Society for Human Resources and Management is seeking to bring success to members of the local business community through a workshop teaching goal setting and achievement skills. \nAccording to the SHRM\, the interactive workshop will begin by teaching everyone how to Dream. Once attendees open their minds to dreaming they will create their own individual wheel of life for both their personal and professional lives. This process is designed to determine who and where they are today. \nThe group will then progress into turning the dreams and areas for improvement off their own wheels into a goal. The workshop leaders will then guide the group through all 7 steps of successful goal setting. When the workshop is complete\, each person will have completed at least one goal. \nThe event will be led by Graham Youtsey. Throughout his 20-year career as a commercial and residential banker\, Youtsey has taught dozens of business professionals to find their goals and pursue them with passion. Youtsey began his weekly goal-setting practice after meeting his mentor\, Zig Ziglar\, in the early 90s.

SUMMARY:WTIA First Look Forum Comes To Bellingham For The First Time
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the First Look Forum has been\, up until this year\, to bring together entrepreneurs from the PNW to learn\, compete\, collaborate\, and grow in Seattle. This year\, however\, the Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA) decided to bring the program to another part of the state for the first time. \nThanks to the initiative of some local business leaders\, they chose Bellingham. \nIn an article explaining why WTIA decided to select Bellingham as the first venue outside of Seattle\, CEO Michael Schutlzer states that the organization wanted to find somewhere that already had a strong startup ecosystem. \nWTIA had already been approached earlier in the year by the NW Innovation Resource Center\, a local organization that supports entrepreneurs and inventors. While visiting Bellingham\, the WTIA staff met with the mayor\, the president of WCC\, and WWU’s Dean of Engineering among others.  \n“It became clear that Bellingham had a really strong community and that there was a need for ways to spotlight the region as a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation\,” says Schutlzer. \nThe First Look Forum is a way for entrepreneurs and innovators who haven’t publicly sought investment to gain exposure and feedback\, all while competing for a $10\,000 cash prize.  \nAlthough the final winner gains both the investment and the bragging rights\, WTIA stresses that the event benefits all the competitors. By preparing each candidate for future meetings with investors and VC firms\, the First Look Forum is intended to improve the startup culture in Bellingham. \nThe First Look Forum not only promises great opportunities for local innovators; it highlights the strength of Bellingham’s small business culture. With the dedication and passion of the members of our local business community\, we may see even more organizations like WTIA choose Bellingham to host events. One thing is certain: it’s a great time to be an entrepreneur in this town. \nThe Forum will take place on November 18th from 2:00pm to 6:00pm at the Bellingham Golf & Country Club. Registration closes on October 18th\, so don’t delay to get your innovations into the running. For more info\, directions\, or to register visit the WTIA First Look Forum events page.
