NameChad Sizemore

TitleDevelopment Director

Born and raised in this area. A native from Hendersonville lived in Asheville for over 20 years. I have seen the many changes that Asheville has went through in the years past. The one thing that that has never changed is the love for Community. This has became a life goal for me, to help my fellow neighbors.  I am a firm believer that working together for a common goal gets so much more done. If you would like to have a Partnership on Promotion or even Planing a event . Have a club that would like to get involved get in touch with me. Together we can accomplish anything, with many we can move mountains.

User's Guides - Welcoming Groups

Tips suggested by users

  • Prepare. There is no save-and-resume button, so have all the information on hand. (But you can return to edit it.)
  • Recurring Events. Powerful, but a little confusing the first time:
    • To enter a meeting on the same date each month (e.g., the 5th), select “on the same day”. 
    • To enter a meeting on the same day and/or week (e.g., 1st Monday), select “on a different day”. 
  • Categories. As a rule, you will want to select at least three categories, one from each of the following.
    • Event Type
    • Target Audience
    • Welcoming Pages
  • Venues / Organizers.
    • Enter the name of the organizer and location. 
    • If it is already in the database, the calendar will populate your event with relevant contact and location information. 
    • If you have to add a new organizer or venue, please fill in all the fields.  It will help others.
  • Review. Once you submit an event, it will be reviewed before appearing on the calendar.
