More About after Work with ETEC Events:

After Work with ETEC was created to connect established and early career professionals. Since the meetings are intended to facilitate relationship building, all ETEC members and guests are invited. We encourage you to invite emerging leaders in your organization and your network to attend.

In 2018, ETEC started a quarterly late afternoon/evening event series designed to foster an environment of mentoring and relationship-building between early career professionals and those who are more established.

These in-person events are sponsored by an ETEC member company and include a program and Q&A with accomplished professionals, networking, snacks, and drinks.
