HBA San Francisco Summer Networking Social Event: Empowering Women to Change the Status Quo

Event description
Join the HBA San Francisco chapter and Cooley LLP for a summer evening of networking and participating in a discussion on "empowering women to change the status quo" in Palo Alto. This year's event brings together HBA members and non-members for a networking happy hour with a special screening of the insightful one-hour PBS documentary "Makers: Women in Business".

We will start off with some formal networking activities and great food and drinks outside on Cooley's patio. Fred Dorey, special counsel in the life sciences practice group at Cooley, and HBA San Francisco chapter advisory board member, will share opening remarks to kickoff the event. We will then transition to screening the PBS documentary "Makers: Women in Business" indoors in Cooley's event room with a brief discussion afterwards, followed by additional networking over dessert.

This is a great opportunity to visit with old friends, make new ones and sharpen your networking skills in a relaxed and friendly environment. Don't forget to bring your business cards to take full advantage of the networking opportunities.

Pricing includes: heavy appetizers, non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks (wine/beer), movie screening, networking and prizes.
