Even as a "newbie" to the League with far fewer years of experience than many of my fellow members, I was welcomed into a relaxed social environment that included professionals who often had thirty decades or more of career knowledge and skill. It did not take me long to get to know many friendly faces, building relationships and ultimately a network of peers that I can call, email or text for advice any time I encounter a challenging situation. Symposium is amazing every year, and I always return home with a refreshed mindset and the inspiration to take our venue to the next level.
