Sixteen or so of us met tonight, heard from Jeff Hayden, and toured the Kittdredge Center (part of the Holyoke Community College). It sounds like they're doing great things. For those of you who missed it, they do rent out conference room space (with great multi-media setup) and vary the fee according to the organization type. Jeff said that they value small (and presumably very small) businesses and would try to work with any of us who might have needs to make the space affordable (I hope I'm not misrepresenting what he said). Also, they sometimes need people willing to teach one-day seminars in the continuing education program. And, of course, have students seeking employment for those who are seeking employees. (I hope I didn't get either of those wrong either...) Jeff can be reached at jhayden at hcc.mass.edu or 413 552 2587. And I think Jeff (whether he wanted to or not) got to sample what a wide-ranging collection of skillsets are represented in Hidden-Tech businesses. Thanks Jeff for the tour, information, and use of the space to network tonight! Also thanks to Amy who organized the event!
