So last night I found myself at San Clemente's OC Tavern, mingling amongst
Industry folks, seeing old friends, and meeting lots of new people. What
brought us all together was the Group Y Network. Founded by Liz Randall, Doug
Schneider, Mark Sperling, Jennifer Kashdan and Claudia Bremser, they describe
themselves as “a collective of youth marketing, entertainment, and action
sports and communications professionals who meet once a month to network and
socialize.” Last night’s get together brought a slew of different people—you
had a headhunter, a woman from corporate America looking to find a job in the
action sports industry, someone who had lost their job and was networking and
the rest of us who were there to mingle and have a couple cocktails. As one of
Group Y’s founders Doug Schneider said, “We wanted to have a place where you
could finally put a face to the name of that person you’ve been emailing.”
Great concept. For more information, or to sign up to the network, check out
