The Breakfast Club International –
The Networking Groups of All Networking Groups
There are many networking and mastermind groups in our community. What is unique about this group are its founders to start with. Steven Wain, local insurance professional and Marc Gagnon, local banker and artist, worked together some 12 years ago on the Davie Chamber of Commerce Membership Committee. They spearheaded the first chamber sponsored networking groups in the area there. The Davie Chamber of Commerce benefitted in a 300% increase in membership at the time. The networking groups grew to five groups, although the Chamber feared to hold the group meetings outside of the building which was their down fall which began the weakening of the chamber. The networking groups spread to Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce through Marc Gagnon, while Steven Wain began them at the Weston Business Chamber. Ft Lauderdale was the next to entertain these groups. The Breakfast Club is a combination of both mastermind and business strategic group aimed at gaining more exposure to its members, as well as affecting the bottom line. The Breakfast has only been in existence for 2 months since the end of April and the first group is already maxed out with others in the wing to begin a second group. The group intends to have after hour socials which will combine the 3 groups and will combine its efforts to give aid to the surrounding area for charitable endeavors.
Gagnon believes that this group could extend to New Hampshire and Massachusetts which is where his long time friend has given Gagnon resources to support his artwork. The resources given are some 12 employees that Gagnon has known for the past 25 years. He is also looking to extend the Breakfast Club to Charleston SC which his art supporter also has an array of support there. Charlie Fischer, Certified Financial Planner, Scott Abolafia, CPA, and Ruben Holschauer of PIP Printing are the other visionaries of the organization.
