Professional Dining Etiquette Workshop
Thursday – June 27, 2019 at 6:00pm
Have you ever sat down to a formal meal and wondered:

"What are all of those forks for?" or "Which way do I pass the bread?" or "Is this topic appropriate to discuss?” or “What do I do with this olive pit?”

Then this hands-on dining etiquette class will put you at ease. What a fun way to refresh your professional etiquette skills while enjoying a 4-course meal!

A Veteran's Thoughts on May's Speed Networking Event

"Was I nervous, of course.
However I was quickly put at ease
when it dawned on me that these
business leaders were here
to serve us – such selflessness!
The feedback was instant, I loved it.
That wasn’t networking was it?
It was too much fun!" – Hakim Diaz
