Baseball, Beer & the Old Girls Network

July 3, 2008

Last night, I had the pleasure of joining a friend at the Louisville Bats game for ladies night.  I met a new person and got reacquainted with someone I had not seen for several years.

We all know that the old boys network has been the all powerful system of getting things done for ages, but I think that gives an unfair reputation to men and women alike.  Networking is a powerful tool and everyone who networks benefits.

The new lady I met last night was able to provide me with personal contacts for some people who might be in need of a librarian’s skills.  I found a contact who might be able to sell me a car, when the time is right.  Over shared funnel cake we found that this was definitely an added bonus to a great night at the ballpark.

Every meeting, every connection provides me with an opportunity to learn and grow.  So cheers to Baseball, Beer and Networking.
