Networking Tips
- Mingle! Don’t spend the entire event tracking down and sitting with people you already know or people you want to talk with. By excluding or snubbing people, you might miss out on fun – or some unexpected networking connections.

- Bring extra business cards to Tuesday night EcoHours to put in the networking pond (a place to exchange business cards.) If you have something to offer (e.g., a job at your organization); or are looking for something (e.g., a running partner) write it on the back of your card. Leave several of your cards and take as many other cards as you like!
