Welcome, NYC Social Media Networkers!

##### I M P O R T A N T #####

It is strongly recommended you complete ALL of the profile questions, and of course, include your LinkedIn and/or FaceBook and/or Twitter profile page address.

Anyone that does not complete ALL of the profile questions, particularly if you don't list links to your social media networking sites, is doing themselves a grave disservice.

If you are a serious business person, or you are actively looking for a job, you need to let people know who you are and what you're about.

How do you expect someone to refer business to you or hire you if you're a stranger? Especially over the Internet.

If you are active on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, or other social media networking sites, let's take the online conversations offline. That is how business can really get done, and that is what this group is all about.

By the way, a cool way to keep all of your social media links in one place, check out Lisa Torres' (aka The Social Butterfly) YouTube tutorial on Sharetabs.

We will be having face-to-face networking events and training workshops on various topics related to career advancement and business development.

Our face-to-face events will be in the greater NYC metro area - including the outer boroughs and Northern NJ.
