Networking

 

Mission Statement:

The Networking Committee is devoted to helping promote an atmosphere where professional opportunities and connections for League members, panelists and guests are made.  Our Networking Panel discussions with an audience

Q & A, bring in outstanding theatre professionals from inside and outside of the League, to help foster further knowledge of the varied disciplines and opportunities for women in theatre.  Peer to Peer networking brings League members, non-members/prospective new members and panelists together in a nurturing and fun atmosphere of socializing.  Come and join your peers, expand your networks, and bring a potential new member!
