FORGE INCREASES MEMBERSHIP, ENGAGEMENT

Inthe first quarter, Forge saw more than 60 new members join. This is on track to meet our goal of 250 new members for 2023. If we continue at this pace and hit our goals, Forge will have welcomed nearly 450 new members in the past 2 years. This growth in new members has contributed to increasing engagement on our social media platforms and with our e-newsletter, as well as increased attendance at events. The Forge e-newsletter open rate has also climbed and is hovering around a 40-45% open rate, which is a nearly 10% increase year-over-year.
