About our Networking Events
Beginning in 2026, we are implementing two networking events in two different areas of the Hudson Valley. Based on feedback, members wanted more time to build relationships and strengthen referral networks.
We’re excited about the networking additions:
- One Lower Westchester luncheon networking event (scheduled mid-day to make travel easier for those coming from further distances), This will be held on May 19th.
- One Dutchess County networking event to better connect with our colleagues in the northern part of our region. This will be held on October 20th
