The State of Networking in the Northern Plains

By Robert Stanke, Northern Plains Bureau Chief

Welcome to the Northern Plains, fellow networkers! Welcome to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Home of the Sioux State, and Mount Rushmore (I am still a believer those four guys are up there because they were awesome networkers…). Land of Cornhusker and Hawkeye networkers, respectively. And believe it or not – networking is alive and well! It’s not just happening at the major hubs of business.
It is happening at professional networking meetings, on college campuses, in local city chamber of commerce meeting rooms, at small town coffee shops, in the stands of minor league ball parks, and the local corner diner. The best part of all this networking is everyone is doing it. Individuals of all professions and all walks of life are finding ways to make connections and help one another. Sure, most people might not think of it specifically as "networking" like perhaps you and I may, but that is exactly what it is. Here in the Northern Plains, we just put our own little twist on it.
