News from the Office

RWN Members, don’t forget to take advantage of your discounted $75 registration for the Positive Steps NY Brand Integrity and Social Justice Business Symposium, taking place Wednesday, August 4, 2021. 

The event will feature a number of speakers and panelists, including RWN President Velvet Spicer. To register, visit https://www.positivestepsny.com/brand-integrity--social-justice.html, select “business network discount,” and enter RWN as the business network name.

From the Positive Steps NY Brand Integrity and Social Justice Business Symposium website:

Incorporating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) into the workplace is a good step forward, but is it enough? Community members/consumers have high expectations for businesses that will impact their bottom line. Join hundreds of regional business leaders and stakeholders who are committed to Brand Integrity that aligns with equitable community engagement and hiring practices.

Relationship Building in 2021

Posted on June 7, 2021

After more than a year of quarantine and pandemic life, many of us are feeling more disconnected from our friends and colleagues, especially if we’ve been working from home. But nurturing our relationships – professional and personal – has benefits both for us and the people we care about. When we’re feeling connected to others, we’re less likely to become burned out.
