How do I prepare for my first meeting?
We recommend dressing for professional networking. Whether that entails a suit or leans more business casual is entirely up to you.
You may find it helpful to bring a current resume and business cards, but they're absolutely not required.
We provide coffee, tea, and water. Feel free to bring a snack: preferably a quiet one!
What should I expect on my first visit?

After orientation, you'll join the standard meeting and have the opportunity to network with current members.
