Description

The invisible "I" on your "Team" is "You"! The invisible "I" on your "Team" is "You". Without the direction of a leader, how far can a team go. Every leader needs downtime. Sometimes it's by yourself and sometimes it's with other leaders. As an organization, we realize how important the informal socials, the grab a drink & hors d'oeuvres networking, and the wind down chats are to every leader. It's the time after-work away from work, employees, customers, family, and your professional self to relax and enjoy an atmosphere of like-minded and like-hearted leaders. Get out of the office, leave your work bag in the car, come link with us, Kim Lee (founder of Forge), and other professionals. Our goal for 2022 has been to support Women-Owned Businesses in the community. We will continue to do so by utilizing women owned establishments to host our events. The venue, Forge, was founded by Kim Lee and catering is brought to us by Nola-Ice/Broad Street Peaux Boys owner Kelli Caulfield. Chat with Kim After years of being a stay-at-home mom, Kim Lee re-entered the workforce and soon learned about the concept of co-working. She quickly realized that Birmingham-area entrepreneurs, small business owners and creative freelancers needed a coworking space, a place where they could grow their businesses by working and collaborating with others. Thus, the idea for Forge was born. "It really is the perfect blend of my background. My undergrad is in business, and I have a master’s in counseling. After I got my master’s, I worked in business operations and development for a service industry company, and that company was very hospitality centered, which really gave me the love of serving people well, treating people well, doing everything that you do with excellence. This concept of co-working is the perfect blend of what I love. I love people, I love hospitality as a business, and I love the idea of creating and growing jobs in Birmingham."
