January Event Recap: Headshot Networking Social at Workscapes

We kicked off 2025 with a fantastic evening at Workscapes for our Headshot Networking Social! Members had the opportunity to refresh their professional headshots while enjoying great conversations, new connections, and a lively networking atmosphere.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and made the event such a success! Special appreciation goes to Workscapes for hosting us, our amazing photographers for capturing our members at their best, and our Membership Director and committee for organizing such a seamless and engaging event.

We were also thrilled to team up with CREW Tampa Bay and the Tampa Bay Retail Alliance (TBRA) for this collaborative networking experience, further strengthening connections across industries.

Stay tuned for more networking opportunities throughout the year.
