• Milsop Virtual Networking - New Member Welcome Party!

  Wednesday, February 14, 2024 Online

  Milsop Virtual Networking - New Member Welcome Party! Save the date! 14 feb, 10.30am, free Zoom event. If you run your own business or are thinking of starting one, then this Virtual Networking Session is for you! I know, as a business owner, just how important networking can be for both my business and my own personal growth. But I also know how difficult it can be to build a network because of this transient military life – so how would you like access to other Milspo’s in business, all over the country (and maybe the world!) without even leaving the house? We are a community of amazing business leaders all over the world, and it seems such a shame that we miss out on the ability to network together. Military life doesn’t have to be so lonely – it’s time to meet people just like you, building amazing businesses despite the challenges of modern military life. Click to register.
