What do CoF groups do?
The industry- and interest-related CoF groups are online discussion groups first and foremost.Most of the geographically organized, local CoF groups schedule frequent face-to-face gatherings to update each other on current business activity, discuss common challenges, develop personal and professional skills, and leverage resources and tools within the group. CoF groups also schedule speaker series or member-led presentations on themes and topics addressed in recent issues of Fast Company. Members also communicate via email and online discussion forums on the CoF Web, and CoF coordinators — local CoF leaders and discussion group facilitators — maintain calendars of local events and activities, as well as an archive of agendas, minutes, and reports from past activities, discussions, and events.
