Southeastern Indiana Rainmakers Plan March 12 Launch Date

The fastest growing organization in Indiana is planning a March 12 launch date in Southeastern Indiana.

Rainmakers currently have 1,500 members throughout the state with 37 hubs. A hub is a place where Rainmaker members meet to network with each other and assist one another in growing their business and business relationships.

In Southeastern Indiana, Al Barnett of the Office Shop in Batesville, is coordinating the efforts to form the Southeastern Indiana Rainmakers. Barnett has chosen business owners and managers and members of surrounding communities to join the board in the attempt to launch the club. The group has been meeting weekly to solidify their efforts and reports indicate that there could be as many as 1,500 invitations distributed for the first official kickoff meeting which will be held at the Greensburg Fairfield Inn on March 12.

Jim Doering, Vice President of Southern Region Rainmakers, is very excited about the creation of a new hub in Southeastern Indiana. “This has been fantastic,” Doering told the organizing group.

The group abides by the acronym SHARE which stands for Strategic Relationships, Hospitality, Accountability, Recruit, and Enspire.
