It's about Rotary training tonight. I appreciate the planning and work put into a webinar I "attended." Are you in Rotary or another service club? What would you like to know about what your members are interested in? #Rotary #serviceaboveself #communityservice #RI

SOCIAL VALUE SYNCHRONICITY 🔁 Nearly all tenders now include questions around social value, which aim to understand how the bidding organisation adds value to the communities in which they operate. Buyers want to work with a supplier who shares their values and which is committed to creating positive local impacts, as well as being able to deliver their project successfully. Social value can include economic, environmental and social factors and often includes a broader recognition of the impact/s that the procurement itself may have in society. SMS Group | Ship Repair | Marine Interiors | Marine Engineering | SC SQEP is evidencing their commitment to social value through a variety of projects, and I'm delighted to be supporting their initiative to engage with, and upskill, their local supply chain. My Bid Skills Workshops will help specialist suppliers and contractors bid for work with SMS Group, and support their delivery of a significant pipeline of works at Devonport Dockyard, for Babcock. My workshops will include content on how bidders can demonstrate social value in their bids for SMS Group, creating some lovely synchronicity around this project. ➡️ Please DM me to register your interest in attending the SMS Bid Skills workshops. #bidwriting #bidskills #socialvalue #plymouth #devon #tenders

This is a hard topic to envision claims on, but the more knowledge we garner the safer we can keep our children. The information on this webinar (which is open to anyone who wishes to view it) can give us information we need to prevent accidental drownings and provide insurance agents with the tools they need to explain necessary coverages and safety precautions to their insured's who own swimming pools. #webinar #watersafety #usli #insurance #liability

Developing modern, vibrant, flexible Rotary to be part of our communities in the 21st Century

A summary: Notes from February 2024 Meeting of League of the Descendants of the Enslaved at Mount Vernon (The League)   Documentary titled "Enjoy Your Visit?" In our February general meeting of League members, a documentary titled "Enjoy Your Visit?" was discussed, aiming to explore tensions at Mount Vernon over slavery and its representation. The documentary’s producer, Merle Augustin and Emmy award winning writer / director Erin Cramer were introduced to members. Funding for the project is being sought through various means, including in-kind contributions, grants from foundations, and companies in the US and Europe. The film aims to raise awareness of the true history of the enslaved at Mount Vernon and the challenges faced by their ancestors.   Engaging with historical preservation groups Second, Shawn Halifax, Executive Director of Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House provided an update on discussions with historical preservation groups to gain support for organizations representing the enslaved and their communities. It was agreed to work together to support the League and other groups, with a scheduled first meeting to build trust and relationships.   Chairman’s update Additionally, I provided an update on the submission of a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Mount Vernon for consideration and input, as well as an invitation for League members to participate in a panel at the George Washington Training Institute in July 2024. An update on the 501(c)3 non-profit status was also shared.   Launch of League Website Finally, the League's website (https://lnkd.in/dwkRr7E6) was demonstrated and launched, providing a platform for members to share their families' content. The website includes a public calendar featuring general meetings and events, and only verified members can access specific Members Only Family and League content.   Next Meeting The next meeting will focus on League plans for 2024 and 2025, including steps for a face-to-face meeting of descendants and a potential conference/seminar, as well as developing different types and costs for League membership. #TheLeague #MountVernon #blackhistory #History #CommunityEngagement #EnslavedHistory #MuseumUpdates

Working at the Intersection of Capitalism and Altruism... Golf is a lot of things to a lot of people. Unfortunately, “easily accessible” generally isn’t high on the list. Reality is most places to swing are built around proportionately high fixed costs making it impossible to offer both convenience AND affordability. The math just doesn’t work. I had an unbelievably big smile on my face last night looking out the back door and seeing our math work differently. Math where fixed costs are essentially eliminated. 3 junior lessons took place between 5-9PM. The furthest drive for a parent was 12 minutes. An unlimited use membership at this club - for the entire family - is $65/month. We let a pro use the space for free and in return he offers members 20% off rates. And when all was done, I still hit balls myself unwinding before bed. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a capitalist to the core and the reality is that the approach and pricing across our clubs is going to vary. The bigger reality though is that there is a ton of opportunity to be had when you operate at the intersection of capitalism and altruism – making high-end golf easily accessible for everyone. Would love to connect with anyone interested in learning more about our mission. #golf #disruption #indoorgolf #golfsimulator #golfindustry #community #golfaddict

*SUPER BOWL TRIVIA ALERT* We take a moment away from the practice of law to prepare for this week's big game. Anyone who knows me well knows my love of sports trivia. In college and in law school, I organized trivia tournaments for charity that were based a format that my dad and grandfather taught me on road trips to various sports events growing up. I usually satisfy my fix at this time of the year by listening to Chris "Mad Dog" Russo's annual super bowl trivia contest, but that contest is not taking place. To fill the void, I have assembled the attached list of questions about the Super Bowl and/or this year's two participants. They generally progress from easier to more difficult throughout. I welcome all participants (just submit your forms via email to MOG@gatewood-law.com ... and if you want a Word version of the document, just shoot me an email). There are 80 questions with 175 points possible. I will send the person who scores the most points a championship trophy and will announce the top 5 scores next week. (No research or googling is allowed!). Even if you don't think you will fare well, if you make an attempt I will send you the answer key so that you can impress your friends and family during Sunday's game. Feel free to share with anyone you may know who is a sports fan. Good luck! (you'll need it)
