[Postponed] From Mingling to Connecting: Getting Beyond “Where Do You Work and What Do You Do?”

Due to the current recent developments and recommendations regarding COVID-19 by the CDC, this event is postponed. We are hoping for June and will alert you when it is rescheduled.

Have you ever signed up for a networking event and then, when the time came to attend, felt awkward and lacked confidence? Or maybe you are looking for a job and want to build your network. Wouldn’t it be great to arrive at an event and wade confidently into a crowd of people you don't know? 

Join us at our April chapter event as we focus on building the critical professional skill of networking. Denise Lamonte, Change Management Consultant and Coach, will guide us in practicing techniques that can help you make significant connections and build your network.  This program will:

• Cover key networking principals and skills you need for your toolbox
• Provide lots of opportunity to practice and improve on existing skills
• Equip you to follow-up with those great connections you made during the event

Skills You'll Develop

The networking skill set applies to people in all professions, so help us create the great vibe intended for this interactive event by bringing a friend or two!
