NETWORKING TIPS FROM SWAN
Members enjoy countless opportunities to connect with key business leaders in all sectors, locally and nationally.

1. Every time you attend an event, introduce yourself to someone you don't know.

2. Never stay in a conversation with one person or group for more than five minutes.

3. Take the initiative to make introductions in a group setting.

4. Look for areas of common interests - don't just pitch yourself or your interests.

5. Get involved in professional organizations, like SWAN.

6. Always have your business cards with you & always ask others for their cards

7. Networking is two-way: find ways to help someone else and build relationships with people you like, not just those you find useful.
