Thank you, Andrea, for attending our Around Town event and for sharing your inspirational story. We are happy that you have re-engaged with our club and hope to see you at more events!
They say in life, it's not about what you know, it's who. Well, I came full circle with that statement recently. Last night I attended a The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club networking event in nearly five years. However, to rewind to 10 years ago, this was the first networking group that I ever became involved with. At that first event that I went to, geared towards new members of the club and not knowing anyone, I made connections with people who have stayed in my life for YEARS. Not only that, but I made a connection that would change my life, and that was meeting Dallas Riffle, remaining in touch, and eventually, joining his team 9 years later as Account Director at Dallas Riffle Media. All because I attended one networking event where I didn't know anyone, hoping to make new connections in a city I loved. Take that first step. Attend a networking event. Don't be afraid to say hi, introduce yourself and never underestimate the importance of relationships in your life. #networking #network #marketingprofessionals #careerdevelopment #learning
