NEW YEAR, NEW FACES

You may have seen them on social media recently as the 2021-2022 board members introduced themselves to the705. Here’s another opportunity to meet them again! They are nerds, they are silly, but above all, they are servant leaders who are crazy about this community.

They also need your help as the705 continues to connect, engage, and lead. Use this form to join a committee today!

UPDATED COMMUNICATIONS

You may have already noticed all of the amazing 705 social media posts created by the marketing team. The705 has invested in a new CRM and restructured our workflows to streamline our communications and planning processes in order to better serve our membership. This allows our board members to concentrate on serving you and providing all of the events and programs you love. Stay tuned for even more exciting things happening in 2021!

EVENT REMINDERS

When you sign up to follow our calendar on Eventbrite, you’ll receive an invitation each time an event is added to our calendar. You’ll also receive a reminder email an hour before your event with location and zoom details.

To sign up, head over to our Eventbrite Calendar and hit the Follow icon in the upper right corner. It’s as simple as that!

Important Note: Moving forward, Eventbrite notifications will be the only way to receive 705 event information, so you MUST REGISTER there in order to attend an event. This applies whether you’ll be attending virtually or in-person.

TEXT REMINDERS

Want an even more convenient way to stay in the know? Sign up for our text alerts and never miss another event! We promise not to blow up your phone, but we will send you a text before the event with the date, time, location, and link. You can easily sign up by texting “THE705” to 71441.

MENTOR PROGRAM

The705’s trademark Mentor Program is back! With mentors from a variety of industries, this program grants you the opportunity to network and be guided by leaders in the Acadiana community.
