FWA-NJ: Meet & Mingle (Virtually)
This virtual event will include an introduction
from FWA colleagues to help set up
discussions for each of three break-out
sessions that will be encouraging all
participants to share how their experiences of
this past year have shaped their expectations
and hopes for the future. How will we engage
in the workplace and home going forward?
How have we been impacted? What are our new priorities? Attendees will maximize
making new connections and deepening existing friendships with an opportunity to
share their experiences and expand perspectives on future possibilities.
The FWA-NJ Meet and Mingle is open to all members of the financial community and
we welcome individuals interested in learning more about the Financial Women’s
Association. It’s informal, casual, and a terrific way to interact with like-minded
professionals and create valuable connections.
Early registration is encouraged, as we’ll keep the break-out rooms smaller for
increased participation. And all attendees are invited to BYO beverages and snacks!
A great event to boost your 2021 success – the FWA Way!
