Favorite thing about being an OMG member: First, the knowledge I’m gaining of the industry and product I’m working with is invaluable; it gives me the confidence and comfort level to be able to communicate clearly, and second, the community I’ve discovered, it’s been amazing getting to know the different walks of life everyone is coming from and sitting together for the love of this one thing. It’s very cool.
