STUDENTS, ENTREPRENEURS TO MINGLE AT SOLD OUT LEAGUE OF LADIES NETWORKING EVENT
WHO: Girlmade
WHAT: Girlmade’s “League of Ladies” event is an inaugural networking party for high school, college and rad women. Nearly 90 people have reserved tickets for this free (and sold out) event. Gift bags will be given to the first 40 attendees, and raffle tickets will be sold for $1. Gift bag items and raffle prizes have been donated by female-led businesses, such as certificates to BootRoxx in Reno and a snowboard from Coalition Snow, a sporting goods company based in Truckee, Calif. Free desserts and beverages will be served.
WHERE: The Reno Collective, 100 N. Arlington Ave #100, Reno, NV 89501. Metered parking can be found around the building and is free after 6:30 p.m. Free non-metered parking is available in the Imperial Lounge parking Lot on the corner of 2nd Street and Arlington Avenue.
WHEN: Thursday, April 17, 2014, from 6-8 p.m.
WHY: Networking has become a dirty word. It’s not about selling yourself to another person. It’s about connecting and finding common ground. This event strives to gather high school, college and business women in the same room and encourage them to utilize the three keys to networking: Know your value, give without expectation and follow up. Every girl needs her own league of ladies.
