Every month in the membership, we will have 2 scheduled events for our members:
1. A successful inventor from the podcast - as our featured guest
2. Office hours - where I answer your Q & As
Each month, we'll feature a successful inventor from the podcast as our guest in a live, interactive Zoom meeting.
Our guests will share their stories, successes, and challenges with our members.
There will be time at the end for Q&As. The meeting will be recorded - so you can watch it later in case you missed it live.
Also, Alan will host a live, interactive Q & A 'Office Hours' meeting each month - where you can ask him about anything you need help with.
The Q & A - Office Hours meeting will be recorded - so you can watch it later in case you missed it live.

1. Contact information for each member in the group
2. Contact information for our Resource Members
