When you join Guild and complete your profile the next step is to start making connections and building your network. If you've accepted an invitation from a colleague then you've already got a head start. However there are many discoverable Guild groups that you can apply to join - we've picked out a few here that should have something to offer most members.
✍Why join a Guild group?
- make new connections and widen your professional network
- learn from the conversations of peers and experts
- hear about opportunities (events, jobs, news, communities)
We hope you'll find something that fits with one of your professional interests below - if not, you could consider creating your own community.
🍃 Delivering Sustainability in your Business
