ABOUT THE SESSION

No matter where you fall on the connection-building spectrum, join Becca Cruger for an evening exploring intentional networking. Becca will share her tried and true strategies for finding “your people” – not just some person. Join in as the GGFWLC talks about building connected, focused relationships with purpose.

NONPROFIT PARTNER: Starving Artist Fund and the Artist Showcase
​The Greater Grand Forks Women's Leadership Cooperative's nonprofit focus for May will be the Starving Artist Fund, a charitable fund hosted at the Community Foundation that fosters a connected, colorful community by providing funds for Grand Forks region artists to participate in Grand Forks events such as ArtSee, ArtFest, Downtown Street Fair, and Town Square Farmers Markets. To make a tax-deductible gift to the fund, click here.

To assist with amplifying the work of female artists, GGFWLC is excited to feature the art of 3 local creators at our Artist Showcase, on display during the May 11 event at the Prohibition Room. We hope you will take time to learn about these inspiring women, view their artwork, and purchase a piece or two to take home for yourself! View information about the featured artists here.
