This Week’s Topic: Banter of Fun After Fifty by Jackie Pomeroy
The idea of a banter is for an entrepreneur to present their idea or business plan or business situation to the group. Then have questions about how to proceed or improve something related to the business. The group then acts as an impromptu advisory board asking more questions and offering their thoughts back to the entrepreneur/owner to help the company consider new possibilities and solutions for its needs.

Short Bio:
I’m a “just do it” kind of girl. Plan a little and then put some action behind it. Shake things up and see what happens. Have a contingency plan, but take some risks. Only been in Austin for one year. Have a broad background in IT, sales, analysis, forecasting, training, etc. Can and have worn many different hats. My friends call me the “chameleon” because of my ability to adapt and fit in to so many different situations.
