Please join the Washington Network Group when we convene our next WNG Chairman's Forum with Vern Schellenger, Principal Consultant & Trainer for Contacts Count LLC and former HR executive.

About this Session:

Networking skills help you get the job done, solve problems, get visible in your field and advance your career. Do you wonder just how savvy your networking skills really are? Wish you had a few more tools at your command for making great connections? Then you should attend this workshop!

In this session, Vern Schellenger will introduce us to innovative strategies designed to help you connect, converse and collaborate with the best. Vern will lead us through four short quizzes that will provide you with new tips to make networking an art... not an accident! In addition to the quizzes, you’ll receive state-of-the art advice for making the most of networking events and conferences. And you’ll have ample opportunity to build your relationships with other attendees as you meet one-on-one for several quick interactive exercises.
