At our fall gathering, we'll build on this momentum with inspiration from each other and an awesome grassroots community organization. Fall Connection Café at CAFAC The idea of networking can be intimidating, not your cup of tea, or something you find you are actually good at. AWE is about supporting new cross-discipline connections — wherever you find yourself — and our members have tricks up their sleeves to share. Have fun in a low-stakes environment and walk away with new ways to power your art-water-ecology work. Bring your networking swag or whatever you use to connect with others about what you do. Don't have anything? Just bring yourself. We'll be sharing tips for on-the-fly, analogue style connections.
