Michigan Professionals was conceived as a way to bring together Michigan alums in the professional world to facilitate business networking in a no-frills, no-fluff environment. This is not a social event for aimless schmoozing or trying to plan a lunch that might or might not happen. It’s a goal-directed business event aimed specifically at increasing your professional business network and your bottom line through cross-referrals. If you happen to make some social contacts or friends as a result of the meeting, all the better, but the goal here is to cross-refer business to other Michigan alums who you get to know and trust, and in so doing, keep things “in the family”.
Michigan Professionals meets 9-12 times per year with quarterly happy hours and monthly breakfast networking meetings. Our next meeting is our third happy hour networking event to be held on Wednesday August 14, 2024 from 5-7PM at Casa Del Sol in Tustin. Contact Ben Sottile at bsottile@umich.edu for information and to RSVP. Also save the date for our next networking breakfast meetings scheduled for Wednesday September 4, 2024 and October 9, 2024 from 730-9AM in Irvine and next Networking Happy Hour on Wednesday November 13, 2024 at Casa Del Sol from 5-7PM. Attendance is free for Michigan Professionals members (we currently have 61 members) at all Michigan Professionals events. Non-members and guests are welcome, cost is $20 for the happy hour and $15 for breakfast meetings, with the first time at a breakfast meeting for free. Membership is $60 for the year and our mid-year special, if you join in the second half of 2024, your membership will run for all of 2025.
