Join the Ridgefield ECDC and the Ridgefield Library at the second Ridgefield Connect networking event on Wed Sept 10 at 5:30pm
The Ridgefield ECDC (Economic & Community Development Commission) and the Ridgefield Library invite you to the Golf Performance Center on Wednesday September 10 at 5:30pm for their second networking event “Ridgefield Connect.” This networking series for working professionals centers around an engaging speaker or business, rotates around town, and is organized three times each year. The inaugural event in May at Nod Hill Brewery was filled to capacity. Register now at:
Ridgefield Connect is geared to remote workers and entrepreneurs, but all working professionals are welcome. The event offers the opportunity to get out of the house and meet peers and colleagues while listening to an interesting speaker about topics that may not be mainstream or what you would hear in corporate settings.
GPC Founder & CEO Roger Knick, Head Golf Pro Dennis Hillman and Director of Operations Ed Murphy will share GPC’s origin story, and how the GPC business model has evolved and grown over the years – including increased accessibility to the public.
So please join us for this second Ridgefield Connect event organized by the ECDC, which also brings you Tiger-Shark Tank this October 28! Further, if you have ideas for future interesting & unique speakers, we would love to hear from you.
