Grab your business cards, bring a friend, and prepare to mix and mingle with the region’s young professionals on November 1st. You’ll have a chance to meet representatives from many of the professional development groups that are listed in our 2023-24 Young Professional’s Guide to Networking and Development. Connecting with a development group can help you get involved in your community, build your circle of influence, and advance your career.
