Networking Luncheon A Fabulous Success

It was a beautiful luncheon featuring suits, salad, and success as over 25 accomplished, professional women joined us for a wonderful networking event at My Most Favorite Food in Manhattan this past Wednesday.

The event was hosted by Women In The Workforce, a division of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce (OJC) and generously sponsored by BNY Mellon Wealth Management. Orthodox Jewish women from a diverse range of fields including real estate, finance, technology, nonprofits, politics, fundraising, higher education and accounting enjoyed the rare chance to network with each other. T

he participants came from careers in prestigious companies including BNY Mellon, EisnerAmper, First American Title, KPMG, Promontory Financial Group, Simon Wiesenthal Center, and The Hebrew Free Loan Society. Though the group consisted of a heterogenous mix of ages, interests, fields and backgrounds, there was a strong sense of camaraderie and warmth.

One woman mentioned that she often goes to networking events which are predominantly men so she enjoyed being in a group of friendly women to network with. Another mentioned how inspiring it was to see such a large group of Orthodox women who had risen to leadership positions in their respective fields. WIW (Women In the Workforce) looks forward to hosting future events such as these to meet the needs of professional women in our community looking to build personal and professional relationships.
