Event Description:
You’ve made the introduction—now what? Join us for the next installment of our Lunch & Learn Series as we dive deeper into the art of networking after the first handshake.
Our panel of local business leaders will share actionable strategies for turning new connections into lasting professional relationships. Learn how to follow up with confidence, add value in every interaction, and build a reputation that keeps you top-of-mind.
