First REIA Meeting This Week Wilmington, NC
Good afternoon BP,
I am new to the community and in an effort to further expand my knowledge/network I am attending a local REIA Meeting this week. This will be my first REIA meeting and I wanted to know what to expect. I pride myself on professionalism and want to make the right impression. never know who you could meet, right? These may seem like silly questions but for example, what's attire? I don't have business cards yet, is it okay to give the business card I use for my current employer? Anything that may be helpful for this meeting would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to any insight.
Cheers!
