Virtual Member Networking Event, with a Spotlight on In-House Careers

Join us for a virtual membership networking event, Thursday, December 10th from 5:15 pm-6:15 pm. Bring your favorite beverage to enjoy with other members. The event is free for members.  Members can register a guest who may be interested in the event.  

During the first part of the evening, we will have a panelist discussion on the in-house career path.  Erin Kelly, a board member of the MRWBA and Counsel at CVS Health/Aetna, will moderate a discussion with our panelists Lisa S. Booth, Director, Ethics & Compliance at Dominion Energy and Lindsay Krause Blackwood, VP, Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Brink's on their career paths.

During the second half of the evening, we will breakout into smaller discussion rooms. Each smaller discussion room will be facilitated by a MRWBA board member, where members can socialize virtually with our panelists and each other.

Thanks to our Membership Events Sponsor, McGuireWoods, for their support.
