In the May issue of The Buzz, IABC/Toronto’s Professional Independent Communicators look at the value of networking.

PIC member Lori Henry reports on her participation in the “Networking and Learning Something New About Someone in the Room” table at our Spring Twist on May 6.

Networking is key to increasing business opportunities and developing confidence. Brent Artemchuk finds out how networking has made a difference in a 3×3 with PIC members Colleen Finnegan, David McLaughlin and Jacqueline Smith.

Meet our PIC Personality, Heather Whyte, and find out why she thinks networking is essential, whether you’re just starting out or growing your business.
