Then you'll want to learn best practices for networking that results in
relationship building.

Join Socializing for Justice for my fast-paced, fun & interactive ProfDev
(professional development training) on the Art of the Schmooze on Tuesday,
January 3, 6:00 - 8:30 PM at The NonProfit Center by South Station.

Fee: $15 advance/$30 door is split with the trainer.

*Art of the Schmooze *
Forming and cultivating relationships is at the heart of any successful
fundraising campaign, volunteer drive, committee effort or community
building activity. This training will give you the confidence to pursue
your personal and professional goals - from the importance of shaking hands
and making eye contact, to tips on the best opening line and how to exit a
conversation gracefully. An amazing side benefit is that you'll learn how
to create a welcoming community space by keeping an eye out for outliers,
considering yourself a host instead of a guest and knowing how to
compliment someone without "othering" them.
