The Kansas City Freelance Network group has become a diverse clan of many talents!
But way back when, it all started like so...

In February, 1990, the nation was facing the onset of a recession and the Gulf War was right around the corner.

Meanwhile, Diane O'Byrne, founder of KCFN was out there freelancing. In the early 1990's, freelancing and home-based businesses were much further and fewer between than now.

She'd been cavorting with an established networking group, an "advertising club," and met many contacts through that group, as well as through her up and coming Sales Coaching business. In December 1990, she decided to host a holiday party at her house and invited some fellow freelancers.

Party discussions lead to officially establishing the Kansas City Freelance Network Group. The purpose of the group was comprised of a gathering every so often to discuss freelancing, exchange tips and tricks, and help one another with pursuing client leads. The group was small back then, and members came and went just as with any group.

Today, the clan has many members, but retains its non-fussy, low-maintenance atmosphere. There's no Board of Directors or pesky Bylaws, just a clan of diversified members who gather for all the same reasons on which the group was founded years before. Won't you join us!

Classifieds: Diane O'Byrne Needs a WriterTopic: Employment Opening
My father-in-law self-published a book several years ago. He now has a NY
publishing house interested in publishing it. They have a copy of the book,
but still insist they need him to write a platform. Anyone have any
experience writing one? The book is a very quick read. Email me and let me know. Thanks! Diane
