SPARKLING WINE -- ON US -- WELCOMES YOU TO WOMEN-ONLY NETWORKING IN CHELSEA. 

Network with some of the city's most fascinating women professionals at Blue Light, the private, second-floor lounge at The Lately, a popular Chelsea destination on the border of the bustling Meatpacking District.

Tonight OP.LYNX, Out Professionals' dynamic women's network, celebrates the coming of fall under the new leadership of OP Ambassador Pam Harrison. Until 7 p.m., welcoming glasses of sparkling wine are on us!

Why is it so important to make and maintain contacts via face-to-face networking? Consider the numbers:

• 85% of jobs are filled through networking
• 68% of entry-level professionals rate face-to-face networking higher than online networking
• 72% of people say someone's appearance and handshake impacts their impression
• 41% percent of those who network would like to network more often

Come prepared with business cards and enjoy attitude-free networking at Happy Hour prices!

Meet Pam! Out Professionals is delighted to announce that Financial Advisor Pamela S. Harrison has stepped into the lead at OP.LYNX with the aim of growing women's attendance and adding women's events. Pam started her own business, Harrison Financial, in January 2017, after a financial industry grounding that included work at two hedge funds -- JLF Asset Management and Karsch Capital -- as well as at Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. In her advisory role, Pam focuses on delivering a comprehensive approach to managing wealth that begins with listening to a client's needs: "After all, a client's financial future is all about the client," she says.
