RBA SPEED NETWORKING  
THURSDAY, JUNE 26th          
Rochester Business Alliance      
150 State Street, Suite 301    
5:00pm - 7:00pm 

  


Networking made easy. Don't let the idea of networking intimidate you. Speed networking offers a twist on the typical meet-and-greet, an organized succession of brief conversations among participants that allows you to talk briefly with 20 or more people. Participants should bring a stack of their own business cards and be prepared with a brief pitch about yourself and your business. Limit of two employees from a company: space is limited. Participants must be present at the entire event.

Due to a Special Partnership between the RBA and the PBA, PBA Members pay $25 (a savings of 50% off the RBA non-member rate). This is a special benefit to you as a member of the PBA. You must be an current PBA Member to register for the discounted rate.

DID YOU KNOW? 

 

That you can add Member-2-Member Deals to your directory listing on our website using your Member Center login. You can even change them from time to time.

Same for Community Hot Deals - you control the deal, when it's offered, what is offered, and you can change it at any time. You can even schedule a bunch of them to appear and disappear at certain times without having to remember to go back into the system.  The deals show up on your directory listing as well as the links to Hot Deals throughout our website.

If you have forgotten your Member Center login or password, simply go to the Member Center link and click on "Forgot Password". An email will be sent to you with your password or a link to reset your password.

All of this is a FREE ADVERTISING benefit to you as a member of the PBA. And who doesn't like free???

If you need assistance with the Member Center at any time, simply email or call us and we will have someone contact you to help. We even make on-site training visits, just ask!
