PATCA Lunches are designed to offer:

• Member-to-member networking with other consultants.
• Discussion of issues and challenges of running a successful consulting practice.
• Exchange of ideas about a variety of industries and business topics.
• Opportunities to share leads or collaborate on projects.
• Have an enjoyable business lunch with interesting people on a regular basis.

Here's how it works:

• Each PATCA Lunch will meet at the same location on a regular monthly schedule.
• Each group is led by a volunteer facilitator.
• Table topics will be tailored to the interests of participants, who will suggest focus areas for future discussions.
• Planned topics will be posted on the web site, and ongoing feedback will ensure the topics are of interest to the group.
• As time allows, each session will include discussion of issues or questions that are raised by attendees.
• Participants will order and pay for their own reasonably-priced meals or snacks.
• Trust and respect are expected from all participants, especially when members request confidentiality for business or client information that may be shared.
• There are no attendance requirements; however regular participation will provide the most benefit and will help make each PATCA Lunch a success.
• Guests are welcome to attend one session to sample the benefits of PATCA membership.

More information will be coming soon regarding the next PATCA Lunch group in another city. Volunteer facilitators are needed to host PATCA Lunch satellite groups in areas around the Bay Area. Please contact PATCA President Joel Williams or Marketing Chairperson Carole Edman if you would like to take an active role in making our new service a big success.
