We are always amazed at North Texas’ awesome talent pool of professional women we have yet to meet. Thankfully, we connected with several new women yesterday at our Meet Mom Corps Dallas Coffee for the Cure. We appreciate all those who attended and thank DUO – All Things Culinary for the fabulous venue and Wynnwood, for the wonderful beverages and food, that looked almost too good to eat.
Back to our post! So you have met a new friend, peer, potential employer at an event, now what?
