Back to Business: EFC’s Fall Highlights

The summer holidays have come to an end and the kids are (finally) back at school! As you prepare for the fall season ahead, here are a few important programs that EFC has been busy planning to help your business thrive in this changing economy.

Three new programs – available soon!

• Mentorship Program – launching this month
  This program connects members from our Young Professionals Network (YPN) with Alumni members to help build a learning culture among former industry leaders and emerging professionals. EFC has partnered with MentorCity to offer this new program.
