DAASV Networking at Facebook 3/30/10

On 3/30/10 the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Silicon Valley held a meeting on the topic, "Comfortable Networking Techniques That Will Make Your Career" at the Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, CA.

DAASV President James von Rittmann presented the speaker, Theresa Lina Stevens, who presented guidelines and specific tips about successful networking. The presentation was interrupted a couple of times with exercises for the attendees. Interactive response was good, and at the end of the session the attendees continued with their networking.
