We look forward to being with you at this exciting new program. Obviously, if you anticipate bringing guests it is a savings to purchase their tickets in advance. Be sure to call and advise which sessions you will be attending, and whether you are bringing any guests.
This is an important opportunity for all of us to extend and share our networks, and allow each other to "fish in new ponds". At this time, it is critical to reach out beyond our familiar circle, meet new friends and make new professional connections. The Networking Salong was created in response to membership requests for more networking opportunities.
For our friends who live outside of the city who want to plan their schedules so they can attend, here are the spring Salon dates:
Be sure to sign up soon and guarantee your place by purchasing a block of tickets. Nearly all of our sessions have sold out, and have resulted in productive new alliances and connections between members and guests from widely varying professional backgrounds.
