There are a few things that I know as absolute truth and one of them is that people always want to do business with others that they like and trust. Throughout my professional career, I have always found that referrals and networking with like-minded individuals are the best ways to connect with new clients and establish long-term relationships.

When I first starting attending Network Over 40 events, from the beginning I was very comfortable with the professional atmosphere, eclectic group of attendees and the attractiveness of the venues. I also appreciated the ‘free range’ form of networking which made feel as though there was no agenda or structure that would dictate how and who I may interact with. This was quite a change from most networking groups I had attended before. As a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience working with both large and small enterprises, while at times running my own business, I felt right at home with the individuals I met from event to event.

Over time, I grew to anticipate the next month’s event because a new venue always kept everything fresh and new attendees to meet always provided additional opportunities to cultivate a different relationship.

That’s why I’m so excited about having this opportunity to be the Director of the Network Over 40 group. I not only have the chance to be a part of something I believe delivers a great of value to attendees, but I also have the opportunity to make it better. I look to forward to personally welcoming you at our next event and don’t hesitate to bring a friend or colleague. You won’t be disappointed.
