This month, we have a very special guest speaker - Tom Baker, Allegheny Council Member for District 1! Tom currently represents over 100,000 residents in his district and has been a community leader his entire adult life.
You can learn more about Tom's impressive background and accomplishments at the below link:

In addition to Tom's County government and countless other duties, Tom is also the Chief Community Affairs Officer for Big Brother Big Sisters (BBBS) of Greater Pittsburgh.
With so much to discuss with the group, I asked Tom to speak about two main topics. Below is the agenda for Part I of the meeting with Tom:
MEETING AGENDA
Guest Speaker: Tom Baker, Allegheny County Council Member, District 1
1) Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) volunteer opportunities
Comments: As small business owners and real estate investors, many of our big "Whys" are centered around the idea of freedom - financial freedom, the freedom to spend time with family, to travel, to pursue personal interests, and lastly, but certainly not least, freedom to give back, to make a real difference in people's lives, and to improve the communities that we work and live in. Tom will talk about opportunities within the BBBS program that are HIGHLY impactful for the students that participate, with a minimal time commitment for volunteers (3-4 hours/month, most of it remotely). That's the best type of leverage and ROI, if you ask me.
2) Allegheny County Council
Comments: On County Council, Tom has served on the Economic Development and Housing, Education, Health and Human Services, and Public Safety committees. He will give us an overview of County Council's responsibilities along with what he is personally working on as a member of the above committees.
Part II of our meeting, as always, will be our (virtual) roundtable discussion. Great opportunity to bring up any deals you want to discuss with the group, small business issues, questions you have related to commercial real estate, properties you are looking to buy or sell, resources you need, etc, etc, etc....anything you need help with to complete transactions, to grow your small businesses, and to accomplish your greater goals.
New and experienced investors are always encouraged to attend.
*******Please feel free to share with your personal and professional networks.*******
Questions or comments? Just reach out to me and let's talk.
FINAL NOTE: For others who may be reading this....Even if your interests are not specifically in commercial real estate or small business ownership, I hope that you will still join us for the first hour of the meeting to hear Councilman Baker speak and to ask him any questions you may have of him. This is a wonderful opportunity to speak to a government official who truly cares and continues to make himself accessible to the community in so many ways.
