The July luncheon meeting of Snoqualmie Valley Women in Business will feature a speed networking session. The luncheon runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 13, at the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.

Building an interconnected group of relationships with others is at the core of a person’s effectiveness both personally and professionally. Speed networking can be another tool in your professional toolkit to contribute to your success.

Before the meeting, participants are encouraged to do a little “homework.” Practice a 60-second statement that includes your name, title or occupation, and what you are looking for, such as information, leads, a job or internship.

Also, bring a supply of at least 30 business cards, a pen, notepad, and appointment calendar.
