Networking, Gratitude, and Growth: Reflections on the GreaterKendall.com November Event
The Greater Kendall Business Association‘s recent November Networker (11/16/23), held at the Empire Social Lounge, showcased the vibrant spirit and camaraderie characteristic of our community. This blog post aims to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the event a success and to reflect on the importance of such gatherings in fostering business growth and connections.
The evening was marked by an atmosphere of warmth and elegance, thanks in large part to the Empire Social Cigars, which greeted attendees with a complimentary drink and an Arturo Fuente cigar. The highlight of the night was the exquisite charcuterie board provided by Chef Arthur Artiles of Boards Cisca, which became one of the event’s main attractions. Andy Gonzalez from “1st Integrity Credit Services” perfectly captured the essence of the event, noting its elegance and the sense of community it fostered, making it a true GreaterKendall.com event.
Since its inception in 2006, the Greater Kendall Business Association has been known as “The Friendliest Place to Do Business.” This event was a testament to that reputation, demonstrating the Association’s commitment to creating a supportive environment for local businesses and professionals. The success of such events lies not just in the number of attendees but in the quality of interactions and the lasting relationships they help forge.
Reflecting on the significance of these gatherings, a famous quote by Helen Keller comes to mind: “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” This sentiment resonates deeply with the spirit of the Greater Kendall Business Association. Just like Keller’s words emphasize the power of collaboration, our event highlighted the strength and potential that lies in our united efforts. Each interaction, each shared experience, adds to the collective strength of our business community, propelling us towards greater heights.
The takeaway from this event is clear: Networking is not just about exchanging business cards; it’s about building a community. It’s about creating a space where professionals can come together, share ideas, and support each other’s growth. It’s about understanding that our collective success is intertwined and that by supporting one another, we elevate the entire community.
