It was wonderful reconnecting with returning members and welcoming so many new faces last week! From our Global Mixer Happy Hour with AHBBS, LABA, and SIA at Malt House to meeting prospective members at the Langone Club Expo, the energy was incredible. We loved seeing our community come together and are looking forward to many more opportunities to connect this year.
