As 2017 comes to a close, we would like to reflect back on another year full of success for NWIBRT and our members! Our list of member companies and associate members continued to grow throughout 2017, annual events like the Awards Banquet, Golf Outing and Business Outlook saw amazing attendance from members and non-members, and we also saw the introduction of several new series of networking events including the Shrimp Boil, Walk & Talks, and Meet & Mingles. There is too much to list here, so visit the NWIBRT News Page to look back at more memories from 2017!
We have some very exciting things planned for 2018! Announcements are coming soon, so be sure to keep an eye on your mailbox, as well as your inbox! Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up-to-date on NWIBRT happenings.
