Our “Nucleus”
The people who volunteered to help get The Creative Kind started.
In Spring of 2024, a core group of creative professionals began volunteering to help get a new organization started, The new group would help fill a void created by the pandemic, that reduced the opportunities for networking and professional development. The Creative Kind was formed.
These folks are the “nucleus” of our group, but our universe keeps expanding, with more creative professionals becoming involved. We’d like you to be, too.
