ANCHOR: In just a few minutes, the C-N-Y Women’s Network Monthly Mingle is happening at the Pressroom Pub. Our Nehilah Grand-Pierre reports.
GRAND-PIERRE: For the past year, the C-N-Y Women’s Network has been hosting monthly mingling events to connect employers and executives to women in the workplace. President of Impact, Amy Canavan, says events like these are important to the specific networking needs of women in business.
CANAVAN: A lot of the times women need to know who they are doing business with. They need to trust who they are doing business with. Women are a lot more cautious minded; we are raised to be that way.
GRAND-PIERRE: Free to the public, Canavan says events like these help people network on their own budget. Just in time for Thanksgiving, tonight’s focus is saying thanks to those who continue to pave the way.
CANAVAN: Tonight is about going forward in gratitude. I want to thank these women for inspiring me every day to do the best I can.
