By McAllen Chamber of Commerce
In today’s fast-paced business world, networking has been an indispensable tool for professional growth and success.
On a monthly basis, the McAllen Chamber of Commerce hosts Link Up: a networking event, where members are invited to connect over lunch time, give and receive referrals and establish relationships. Each attendee is allotted 60 seconds to introduce themselves and explain the services they offer to the community. Guests can also exchange business cards before moving on to the next person.
Link Up is scheduled for June 13 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the McAllen Chamber of Commerce and is sponsored by Pollo Loco.
If you are a Chamber member and would like to advantage of this unique platform, reserve your spot and contact Retention Specialist Mariela Hinojosa at 956-682-2871 or email mhinojosa@mcallenchamber.com
