Our members are talented visual rtists and creative individuals in related fields (e.g. writers, designers, media types, craftspeople,etc.). Our goal is to bring creative entrepreneurs together in unique, positive, non-competitive, collaborative ways that other associations do not. Our in-person (New York Metro Area) activities will include special "success teams," educational/social events, and mentoring/networking programs) designed to help our members make invaluable, sustainable connections and friendships. We also plan to offer access to low-cost business services. Online (http://www.metrotribe.org) we invite a global community to connect to their creative colleagues around the block, or around the world. We have a chat room, forums, and an ever-growing links resource. If you're a member, you can add your web site to our member's links page without charge and we will be actively promoting this page to get our members the visibility and promotion they deserve! We are just starting up, and we are seeking a select group to form a special, invitation-only, in-person division of The Metropolitan Tribe. We are limiting this invitation right now to those who live or work in the NY Metro Area, and who work in any of the following areas: travel, the arts, fashion, careers, the environment, and technology. The men and women that we wilil seelct must have identifiable talents and have demonstrated their commitment to bringing their work to the public consciousness. The people we select to attend our premier in-person events will find a wide variety of artists and creative types that they will want to get to know, and vice-versa. There are no fees, dues or costs to join The Metropolitan Tribe. Visit our web site at: http://www.metrotribe org. Anyone can join the Metropolitan Tribe as a general member, but if you feel that you are the type of person who could really benefit from our select, invitation-only in-person membership category, please write to me at ablackman@metrotribe.org and tell me a little bit about yourself, your work, and why you belong in this special group! love, success, and happiness to you all Alison Blackman Dunham, co-founder THE METROPOLITAN TRIBE
