Some things to do over the holiday weekend
Published on Dec 29, 2025 by Matt Bud, The FENGhings that cost money:
Donate to The FENG. https://www.thefeng.org/donate-now
Assuming you have paid your annual dues, this suggestion is for those who might want to provide additional support.
Things that don’t cost money:
1. Link with me on LinkedIn
https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattbudthefeng/
I have about 8,000 folks linked with me on LinkedIn. Everyone in The FENG is cordially invited to become a first level connection of mine on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is an important part of our social media strategy in 2026. Linking with me will help. (Did I mention it’s free?)
2. Link with The FENG’s “company” page on LinkedIn
https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-financial-executives-networking-group/
We have about 10,500 LinkedIn followers. Again, LinkedIn is an important part of our social media strategy in 2026. Signing up for our Company page will help. (Did I mention it’s free?)
3. Subscribe for The Financial Executives Networking Group on YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/c/TheFinancialExecutivesNetworkingGroup
We have about 3,250 subscribers. YouTube is another important element to our social media strategy in 2026. We have 500 videos you can watch (Did I mention it’s free?)
4. Work on your 90-second announcement. If you go to https://www.thefeng.org/library
you will find a document titled 90 Second Announcements at the top of the list.
5. Work on your resume. If you go to https://www.thefeng.org/library you will find a document titled Resume Review Guidelines about halfway down. (The list is alphabetical.)
6. Watch something on our Video Resources page. If you go to https://www.thefeng.org/video-resources you will find ALL of them listed. (All these videos are also on your YouTube site.
7. Add a few of your fellow members to your “Inner Circle of Friends” by taking our Member Directory Search feature for a test drive. If you go to https://www.thefeng.org/members/search you will find this remarkable tool. You will find a tutorial on how to use it at: The FENG Power Talk: Member Directory Search
8. Register for a Chapter or Special Interest Group meeting by going to “Groups & Meetings” on our website. You will find this feature once you sign in. It is the first pull down to the right of “Dashboard.”
9. See all active Job Leads on our website by going to https://www.thefeng.org/jobs.
The format is a little more expansive than the thumbnails listed below. You probably should visit this page every day.
10. Sponsor a new member. You are able to send a note from our website by going to https://www.thefeng.org/sponsor/invite. No one ever has enough friends. Give the gift of friendship. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
A final pitch for things that cost money: Donate to The FENG. https://www.thefeng.org/donate-now
Enjoy the holiday weekend and stay safe.
Regards, Matt
