Author and communications expert Andrea Nierenberg, called a “networking success story” by the Wall Street Journal, provides the answer to this question at the Central West Coast chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association's July professional luncheon. Guests will learn the strategies and best practices that cause someone to take note and become engaged anywhere they go, and to incorporate these skills into their daily life.

The program, which includes lunch, takes place on Wednesday, July 18, 11:30 a.m. at Mattison's Forty-One (7275 S. Tamiami Tr., Sarasota). Cost is $25/CWC-FPRA members, $35/guests; registration is available online at www.cwcfpra.com. Event sponsor is Mattison's.
