September 2020 - Our Zurich Networking Group Community Update
3 Speakers - 3 Very Different Topics

Hi,
I thought I would give a quick update and explain where we are at the start of September.
- A clean up of the LinkedIn group was completed over the summer, it now numbers 3,984 members today. Why do this? The group dates back to 2009 and after 11 years, it is good group community practice to ask inactive, never posted to the group members, “do you still want to be a member of the group?” 147 people decided retirement, or just to be on the newsletter, simply not interested or have left Zurich were stated reasons to leave.
- The Zurich Networking Group Website visitor numbers are improving again from the super “low” of 2020 April and May. There were days when visitors were in the low 10s which is understandable as people navigate coronatimes. In July and August our year on year visitor trend line is lower but following the same trend month on month for 2019 which bodes well for the future.
- Events going forward will develop to introduce more co-hosted or Supporter Plus Member workshops. This broadens topic choices, promotes member lead and involvement and addresses the wider interests of the group. Online will still be the focus with small group specific learning workshops until social measures rules change. Hence, the LinkedIn job seeker Masterclass workshop only having 7 places available.
As always, do let me know your news, or questions on the group.
All the best for now,
Andrew
