Title: Networking 2.0 Workshop
Description:
Why are you part of Executive Club? There may be many reasons... to participate in professional development, to see friends, to learn more about community resources... but one of the reasons is probably to expand your network. For our January luncheon, we are going to do just that! Networking can be intimidating, awkward, and uncomfortable... but it doesn't have to be. And the benefits usually outweigh the costs.
For our January luncheon, we will put our networking skills to practice while having fun! Join us to get to know your fellow ECCC members a little better in a non-intimidating way. And you will leave with some new connections, improved networking skills, and hopefully some new friends as well!
