Join us for a morning of open networking and camaraderie that includes a dynamic presentation by marketing professionals Harold Behar and Stephen L. Eckert, who have more than 27 years of experience between them. This exciting series for business professionals is hosted by the Ryan Event Center (a part of the Father Ryan Arts Center), and is made possible through the generous support of our Leadership Networking sponsors!
