April Patterson (Dr. Patty) moved to South Florida from Michigan and decided to use networking as a tool to grow her dentistry practice… and it worked!
Dr. Patty soon became an avid networker, attending events like the National Association for Women Business Owners. She met a woman who invited her to a Femfessionals lunch. Dr. Patty found so much value in attending her very first Femfessionals Miami lunch that she immediately started brainstorming how to bring a Femfessionals group to Fort Lauderdale.
Femfessionals is a ladies-only group that meets once a month for what Dr. Patty calls a “connection luncheon.”
Dr. Patty became the president the Fort Lauderdale Femfessionals group and named it FemCityFtLaudy. She describes the group as a way to connect professional women with other professional women. It’s not your typical professional networking group; women are encouraged to get to know their fellow Femfessionals on a more personal level rather than starting a conversation with a sales pitch.
Other FemCityFtLaudy board members include Carolina Schwartz (PR) and Vanessa Montes (Social Media outreach).
