Networking Opportunities
Monthly Programs
Our chapter’s monthly meetings provide a casual setting to sit with other professionals from a variety of industries and workplaces. Many meetings include a networking activity or small group activity based on the speaker’s topic. We encourage all participants to extend their personal introduction and inquire information from others. Bring your business cards and trade with other participants. Make a quick note on the collected cards about an interesting fact or shared connection; then email that person later to keep the connection going.
Special Networking Events
At least once a year the chapter devotes an entire event to networking with peers and new faces in the Sacramento area. Hiring employers and leaders in need of consultants often attend as well. Watch for chapter invitations and check the Calendar (link) of events for our next networking event or other opportunities to connect and expand your network. For more information about our most recent Speed Networking Event, please visit the Chapter Photo Album (link).
LinkedIn
Sacramento ASTD has a discussion group on LinkedIn! Take advantage of the many contacts that are available to network with your peers and colleagues locally, as well as nationally.
Now is also a good time to update your own LinkedIn profile with information about your services, expertise, background, etc. Remember that every word you use in your profile becomes a potential search word. Also take advantage of the discussion feature to reach out to the entire Sacramento WLP community!
Happy chatting!
