Why did the solar panel go to the conference?

Hey, 

Welcome to Green Jobs Rising!

I was going to make a recycling joke to start…but I didn’t want to reuse my old material.😉

Today’s newsletter is all about networking, fellow introverts, I see you. You’ll survive.

I remember once attending a high-level conference packed with experts. 
I was there as the communications person, helping translate all that brilliance into plain language for non-experts like me. 
The hours were long, and at some point I must have dozed off…because the next thing I knew, I was “volunteering” to lead a team and deliver certain results. 

But guess what? I survived, and even left with a few new phone numbers. 

So, in that spirit, we’ve lined up some great events in renewables and healthcare for you. And while people often say networking events drain your energy…not these ones. These ones will generate it

If nothing else, you’ll walk away with a story or two, hopefully not the kind where you accidentally volunteer for extra work like me.😉

Cheers!
