If you have been listening, then you’ve heard that networking is important and that women are less likely to have strong networks. Has anyone told you the components of a strong professional network? Did you know there are tiers within a network that need to be cultivated? If not, the next AMWA mentorship webinar may be for you! In Networking 102, we will move beyond the conversation of why you should have a network to understanding the structure of a network and how to build it.

Best,
