There are opportunities to network built into the first part of the event, and a lunch is typically included. NOTE: Due to pandemic precautions, we are currently hosting our learning events via Zoom.- Workshops: These events are typically anywhere from several hours to one or more full days in length. Certifications and/or certificates of completion are typically offered, and the cost of these is incorporated into the cost of the event.- Networking / After Hours Events: These events are targeted toward talent development, human resources, and general business professionals in the community who find it difficult to break away midday but still want to be engaged with the chapter. These events are held in evenings or mornings to provide time for networking.- Community Service: These volunteer opportunities allow us to give back to our community while raising awareness of the chapter's existence, purpose, and goals.
