AceTech Ontario is on Slack!
Slack is a communication platform that can be used on your computer or phone between users. We have adopted Slack in replacement of our Members Only Facebook Group. Many of our members are already using Slack both in their own companies and in their roundtable groups and are LOVING it! Slack has already proven to be a much more efficient tool than Facebook and will provide a simpler forum for conversations and collaboration. These tools will only be effective and of value if all our members sign on and get involved! Slack will also allow you to communicate with members one on one, with your roundtable, with fellow CEOs or Executives, or with our entire membership. It can replace all those emails when asking for advice, deciding on a topic for your next meeting, or letting everyone know you have a job posting. And it is searchable to conversations or files will never be lost.
Haven't joined yet? Email Nomi at [email protected] and she'll get you set up!
