Networking Workshop at NACA Northeast Regional Conference

On Saturday, November 19, 2011, I was invited to be a featured speaker at the NACA (National Association for Campus Activities) Northeast Regional Conference in Hartford, CT. I facilitated a workshop on networking to new and seasoned student affairs professionals. The workshop was highly interactive and engaging. The session was titled, "Building Your Network, Engaging in Your Network & Capitalizing On Your Network." Listed below were the session outcomes for participants and a brief video clip as I discussed the five elements for effective networking and increased social capital.

- Identify the importance of building your network, engaging in your network and capitalizing on your network

- Create and deepen the potential networking opportunities and relationships within this space through interactive activities

- Engage in authentic dialogue about challenges and experiences participants encounter when networking in professional settings

- Explore and share common themes around networking that we can all benefit from in our professional communities

- Identify best practices and strategies for effective networking that participants can use beyond today’s session
