This week we had our first DARE To Be Phenomenal:   Success Minded Women’s Networking Event of the year.  We had 74 women mixing, mingling, networking and having fun!  As usual we had many new members join this month.  It was fabulous or dare I say phenomenal.

After the event someone commented to me that they like the evening events better than the lunch events because there is more room to move around and meet new people.  Although I understood her comment, it got me thinking about the purpose of these two events and how I see their function as being quite different.  Let me explain.

The evening event is a more structured event; we have a presentation followed by a Q & A session.  There is more opportunity to speak with more women as the event usually has somewhere between  85-90 women in attendance.

The lunch events are more casual and were always intended to provide an opportunity for the membership to get to know each other more personally.

Networking is never about how many people you can meet in a single event.  It is about meeting people with whom you can build a relationship and begin to work together to help strengthen each other’s business.

Whether you come for to the lunch event or the evening event you are guaranteed to meet a phenomenal group of women that are truly interested in taking their business to the next level.  Our next networking opportunity is January 26, 2010 at the Boxwood Grille, Methuen, MA. I look forward to seeing you there!

Anyone interested in a great networking event this week?  If so, come to the Friends of Kevin Event at the Harmony Hall on Lakeview Ave, Dracut, MA  on Thursday October 8th, 6 – 9 PM.  See you there!
