Throwing it back to last Wednesday, when we hosted our very first event of 2025! During our speed networking session, we asked members to share one key insight they gained that they could apply in their business. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and made the event a success! We’re already looking forward to welcoming even more new faces and building more connections in the #BayOfOpportunity at our next Speed Networking event. #SpeedNetworking #NMBBC
