CEO Young Professionals had the honor of hosting Sherrica Davis-Hunt, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Affinity Philanthropy and Strategic Initiatives at SIUC and Jackson CEO Board Member!

She empowered our group with practical skills for effective networking, drawing from her book, Networking & Lattes: 10 Steps to Networking.

💡 Key takeaways:
• Networking = the art of purposeful connection
• Two types of networking:
🔹 Structured – intentional opportunities to meet people
🔹 Unstructured – moments where you must be proactive (conferences, trade shows, etc.)
• Preparation is key to maximize opportunities
• Never leave empty handed!

We’re grateful for her insight, energy, and encouragement to grow as leaders who build purposeful connections. 🙌
