1A Community Roundtable
- Ada County -
Building Professional Relationships All Across Ada County
Stronger Together!
We are stronger together & we work to rise together, as a community.
​
The 1A Collective Community Roundtable meets weekly at its new location in Meridian to connect, share updates, and address the current needs of our community.
Through this collaborative approach, we provide professional services to one another, allowing us to better serve each other’s clients while meeting the broader needs of Ada County and beyond.
By fostering strong professional relationships and referring our clients to trusted members within the group, we ensure that every client receives the highest standard of care from a trusted provider.
​
We are business leaders, owners, and professional service providers from across the Treasure Valley, united by a shared goal: to make a positive impact on our community. We believe in strengthening personal relationships, fostering goodwill, and building connections that extend beyond business—reaching neighbors, friends, and the community we serve.

***20 Minute Presentation Breakdown***
​
-
From PROFESSOR Alan Crews - "The attention time of the listener has been shown to be on average 20 Minutes" ... Yeah, they did the research.
-
WHAT? - This is the time that our GUEST SPEAKERS have to speak.
-
WHY? - We have been asked over, & over, & over, for 2.5 years to offer OPEN NETWORKING time. This is now our first 15 minutes at Roundtable.
-
"Just a suggestion" as Uncle Bryan taught:
-
Set a 20 minute timer on your phone, watch or laptop when you start.
-
Practice your presentation before the meeting with a timer.
-
Watch for William "Tater" Swygart as he tends to flash a "FIVE MIUNTE" heads up to the speaker. We do not want to distract you. We do want to insure the speaker has time for wrapping up their presentation.
-
Cheers & God Bless!!!!!

We love networking. Networking can be done before & after the meeting but we can not occupy the building outside of the scheduled times. Networking can continue outside or at a local restaurant or coffee shop.
Thank you for understanding & helping. We appreciate you.
