Keep Connected with Meetup CEO David Siegel

Nearly 10 years ago, Nina Baltierra founded the Bull City Beer Runners in Durham. Now her group is one of Meetup’s largest running communities, with more than 1600 members. Not a pure running lover by heart, Nina’s group has been a huge source of personal motivation and accountability. Over time, Beer Runners has evolved into a “home base” for friends who support each other in all kinds of ways, like weeding poison ivy from a member’s backyard! Learn from a real grassroots organizer what it takes to establish, expand, and enhance your own home base.
