This morning I had the opportunity to help celebrate the 6th anniversary of the Rainier Club’s Executive Women’s Group by leading a discussion about the importance of “Active Networking” at their monthly Roundtable Breakfast. The Executive Women’s Group is a monthly gathering of civic, community, and business leaders, that come together for an opportunity to network and discuss relevant topics impacting professional life.
What a group of active and engaged women! We discussed barriers to networking, tips and tricks of successful networking, follow up options after meeting new people, social media networking, and networking “don’ts”. Though I shared some of my own opinions and experience in networking through my community associations and in ZINO Society, I was very impressed with the quality of the input and suggestions that was shared by the attendees of the event. There were definitely some thoughts that I can use to network more effectively.
In the photos, I am pictured with some of the attendees including (top photo from left to right) Executive Women’s Group co-chairs, Jenn Ty and Kristi Pangrazio, Rainier Club Director of Membership, Amy Tolzmann and Tina Schaaf. Also attending were Sharon Cooper, Colleen McCann and Marla Beck (middle photo from left to right) and (bottom photo) a group of Junior League of Seattle friends, Renee Bishman, Sara Becker, Jeanette James, Sara Wood, and Tricia Thompson.
