It's a new year and we see 2021 as a year full of opportunity. For many of us networking is only taking place on virtual platforms. Although we hope this situation is not here to stay, we can all make the best of it! That is why CFBN has restructured our industry events and created enhanced virtual networking opportunities for our members this year.

Additionally, we are looking for more ways to engage with YOU, our network! Do you have an event coming up, a great shout out from the local press, or cutting-edge research to share with the industry? Let us know -- we would love to share your great work with our network. 

Ways we can engage:

• Social Media
• Newsletter Content for Member Newsletter
• News Blog
• Career Postings

Anna Pirila, who leads CFBN’s public relations and social media efforts, is looking for new ways to highlight and incorporate members into our communications efforts. Have some interesting news to share, reach Anna at anna@chicagolandfood.org. We look forward to engaging, catching-up, and finding opportunities to network with you in 2021.
