Thank you Women In Defense - Greater Tampa Bay Chapter and AFCEA International Tampa for organizing a fantastic joint event at Amalie Arena to watch our Tampabay Lightning take on the Calgary Flames. Our Tampabay Lightning emerged victorious! Special shoutout to Patrick Defenbaugh for being a great sport and hanging out with me, and a big thank you to Mark Christensen for keeping his cell phone available for those last-minute questions! Networking events like these provide the perfect opportunity to make new connections while cherishing time with old friends. It was a pleasure discussing the upcoming AUSA Suncoast Chapter Golf Tournament and the 250th Army Ball, as well as learning more about the upcoming Clay Shoot hosted by Women In Defense and AFCEA’s Golf Tournament. Looking forward to more engaging events and fruitful interactions in the future! #networking #ausa #tampabay #events #nonprofits #fellowship
