Networking can be a valuable first step of fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and awareness building for your organization…but have you ever attended a networking event and felt like a fish out of water, just floundering around and hoping something good happens? Would you like to network with intention? Do you know what you want and go after it? Do you leave the event with confidence that the connections you made will increase the visibility of your organization? This workshop will teach you the newest and most effective networking techniques. Whether you are an advanced networker or a beginner, you will learn how to make impactful connections.

Join us to:

  • Feel empowered at networking events and make the connections you want;
  • Evaluate your networking skills and set simple goals for where you want to be;
  • Learn how to teach others to give you referrals on a continual basis.

Participants are encouraged to attend Spokes’ nonprofit networking event Happy “Hub” Hour immediately following this class to put their new skills to use.
