Networking Opportunities

We will organise a quarterly social event that will feature inspirational speakers and provide  networking opportunities for club members.

Each social event will host a round-table discussion to cover topical issues and allow participants to call upon each other to address specific challenge areas. We'll also enjoy a social drink afterwards.
