How much does JSFG cost?
When meeting face-to-face, all we ask is for $10 a quarter donation to cover operating expenses and six hours of volunteer work a month. There is no fee while we are holding meetings online during this time of social distancing.
How do I prepare for my first meeting?
When meeting face-to-face, we recommend dressing for professional networking. Whether that entails a suit or leans more business casual is entirely up to you.
When meeting online, dress appropriately and share your video. This encourages an interactive atmosphere and makes it easier to network with the other members.
What should I expect on my first visit?
