Event Recap

Thanks to everyone who came to Engage Charlotte’s luncheon. As is starting to become the trend, we had an amazing turnout. This luncheon was focused on choosing, finding and developing mentor relationships. The panelists provided some very insightful information for our attendees. Also, we were able to mix things up a little this time by changing the venue to Mez! The venue had ample space for networking, and the theater was a very comfortable space for the discussion. We hope you join us for the October luncheon. Podcasts of previous events can be found here on the Engage Charlotte website.
