The Educational Development Committee Presents
On-Line and On-The-Ground:
The Art of Networking
These days, business owners must focus on marketing their services and products in “all the right places” in order to be profitable. In this motivating, interactive training session, NAPO-LA members, Donna D. McMillan and Regina F. Lark, will help you to refine the skills necessary for successful networking, both on-the-ground and on-line.
Networking is an established way to promote your business and your areas of expertise. Networking also allows you to be an excellent referral resource.
