Need a refresher on networking tips as we return to in-person meetings?
In this interactive workshop, attendees will hear networking best practices and tried and true tips for growing your professional network, without derailing your personal life. Real-time exercises will help build confidence and together, we will craft personal introductions that highlight not only the work we do but who we are as uniquely fascinating individuals. Attendees will learn from peers in small group breakouts and have time to ask questions of our presenter, Hannah Berger of The Philanthropy Coach.

Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community.
