Networking your way to business success


The kickoff event for the Bridging the Gap Educational Series took place on February 27th in the board room of the Greater Baltimore Committee.  The event was well attended by local entrepreneurs and business leaders.  Donald Fry, President & CEO of the Greater Baltimore Committee, welcomed attendees and introduced the presenter – Ms. Joni Daniels, who is a professional speaker and the principal of Daniels and Associates.  Joni engaged the audience in a captivating discussion on the nuts and bolts of converting networking endeavors into business opportunities.  She pointed out that networking is a process, rather than an event and provided useful information on creating an effective networking process.
