More than 20 members and guests attended the October breakfast networking event.
NAPW Los Angeles Chapter President Ruth Garcia-Corrales took the floor and warmly welcomed the attendees to the monthly meeting. She invited everyone to take a few minutes to introduce themselves to the crowd and talk about their careers, professional goals, interests, etc.
"The room was filled with professional women from a variety of industries and professions, which allowed for a lively and stimulating networking session," said the Chapter President. "They were also the perfect audience for our guest speaker, Ruth Klein, who is an expert in branding and marketing."
