Why join Smaller Indiana? What are you hoping to experience here ?
I would like to see if we can encourage jobs to come to southern Indiana, we must break the poverty cycles, people who are in poverty, their children are ending up one step lower on the economic ladder, than their parents, and this must be attended to by our government & and social/ecnomic organixations.

Maybe I could make a small little bit of difference, is what I would like to do.
I came from a family with little moeny , and yet I achieved a sound level of success, and I think I know how to explain it to others.

Thank you, Dennis R. Drake, CLU, CHFC retired

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
