Women In Networking Luncheon | Spearfish
Join us for our Women In Networking (WIN) Luncheon on Tuesday, , from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM at The Joy Center. Early networking starts at 11:30 AM.
Our guest speaker is Dr. Brandie Rainboth, owner of Spearfish Physical Therapy.
Brandie describes herself as more of a goal setter than a New Year's resolution kind of gal. She likes the idea of setting a goal to work towards, not having to have everything together starting and trying to maintain for long term (although that method can work for some people!). She'll share some fun tips about the benefits of movement and how movement is vital in self care.
Registration and payment by Thursday, at midnight is required. Seating is limited. We will not be accepting walk-ins.
Women In Networking (WIN) is an organization under the SD CEO Women's Business Center for women in business that provides an opportunity to widen their professional networks, promote their business or organization and network with other women.
WIN connects women, familiarizes participants with other businesses and/or upcoming events, and supports the SD CEO Women's Business Center.
Influencer Marketing... Is It Worth It?
Influencer Marketing has become HUGE and a valuable way for businesses to get their products and/or services in front of others. Peer-to-peer review have always out performed ads, and with the privacy changes on social media platforms, more business owners are turning to social media influencers to help them sell! The best part? You don't need to find someone with a million followers (and subsequently with large fees) to help share what your business does with the world.
The webinar is live on Wednesday, , 10:30am - 12pm MDT. This webinar is FREE to join!
It will be taught via Zoom with the opportunity to ask questions throughout the presentation.
Meet your presenter: Ashley Smith, Owner, Social Jargn
