Networking is the proactive process of building genuine relationships with people you know who can connect you to people they know who can provide you with information, advice and more contacts that will help you make good career and business decisions.

Networking provides you with a great source of connections and opens the door to highly influential people that can be a boon for your business. Often, just having a networking relationship with certain people enhances your standing and credibility, which therefore helps your business in numerous ways. And that influential person will already have a network you can tap into as well.

Networking can help to build your reputation as a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive person who can provide useful information and connections to people who need it. You are also more likely to get more leads and referrals as you will be the one that pops into their head when they need what you offer. The right network can put you into contact with high quality, trusted, and powerful connections throughout numerous business and professional communities.

Every event put to gether by the US-Mexico Chamber of Commerce provides you with some of the best networking opportunities in town.
