Networking is arguably the number one way to get ahead in your career. Who you know can affect the number and variety of opportunities available to you, so it pays to know as many people as possible. But it’s not always the easiest thing to go out and simply make new connections out of the blue. That’s why events like Networking After Dark, organized by the Savvy Women Network, are so important.

Wednesday, February 8th is the date for this evening of free fun. The event kicks off at 5:30 p.m. at Paradiso Italian Restaurant on Franconia Road in Alexandria. Appetizers and happy hour specials will be served as you meet and mingle with others who share a passion for making their businesses a success. Your attendance entitles you to a complimentary swag bag as well as the chance to win a variety of great raffle prizes. Register today to take full advantage of this great event!
