CRV Chamber Open Networking - East Hartford - 1.21.26

Description

Our Open Networking sessions are dynamic, welcoming, and consistently well attended, bringing together a fresh mix of professionals every other week at the Academy Cafeteria in Glastonbury and Goodwin University in East Hartford.

Open to all, these sessions are free for Chamber members, and future members are welcome to attend up to four times at no cost—an easy way to experience the value of the Chamber firsthand. Each gathering offers the opportunity to meet new faces, build authentic connections, and expand your network in a relaxed, engaging environment.

Hosted by Eric Lopkin, owner of The Modern Observer Group, a celebrated facilitator and author, every session also features a guest speaker who educates attendees on a business-focused topic—never a sales pitch—making each meeting both informative and impactful.

Our guest speaker is Claire Lee. Claire is an early-career project coordinator at the Hartford-based nonprofit, Generation Power CT. At GPCT, she leads community-forward engagement and research activities to educate and empower communities across the state. Some of her notable past projects include the “Emerging Public Health Needs for Climate Smart Technology in Connecticut Affordable Housing” cross-sector research study with researchers from the Yale School of Public Health and leading strategic outreach through Energize CT’s Community Partnership Initiative. She remains committed to leveraging local knowledge and strengthening relationships with underserved communities to facilitate equitable decision-making processes and sustainable energy solutions. She holds a B.A. in Political Science with Honors and a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!).
