      <title>PWOCN Mixer: The Follow-Up Formula - From Introduction to Opportunity (May 27, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 32px;" color="#C00000" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.pwocn.org/resources/Pictures/May%20'26%20Mixer.png" alt="" title="" border="3" width="283.5" height="284" style="border-color: rgb(192, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 32px;" face="Times New Roman, serif" color="#7A0026"&gt;The Follow-Up Formula&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 32px;" color="#C00000" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;From Introduction to Opportunity&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Join The Professional Women of Color Network for an exciting evening of conversation, collaboration, and professional relationship-building on &lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, May 27&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;This is not your typical networking mixer. This experience is designed to help you move beyond surface-level networking and start building professional relationships that continue long after the event ends.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Date:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Wednesday, May 27th&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoli Mexican Restaurant&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 32px;" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Why This Mixer Matters&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Meeting people is easy. Building relationships requires more than exchanging business cards.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Too often, professionals attend networking events, make introductions, exchange LinkedIn information, and then leave without a clear next step. The real value of networking is not simply who you meet in the room. It is what happens after the introduction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;At this PWOCN mixer, we are creating space for professional women of color to exchange ideas, build authentic relationships, and turn conversations into opportunity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Whether you are growing your career, building a business, expanding your visibility, seeking collaborators, or looking for a stronger professional circle, this event will help you create relationships that matter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 32px;" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;What to Expect&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;This mixer will include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Engaging networking with professional women of color across industries&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Guided conversation prompts to help you move beyond surface-level introductions&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Networking and relationship-building strategies inspired by PWOCN’s signature framework, &lt;em&gt;The Follow-Up Formula&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Opportunities to exchange ideas, resources, referrals, and support&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;A welcoming atmosphere designed for authentic conversations and professional growth&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;A curated networking starter resource to help you continue building relationships after the event&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 32px;" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;~ Featured Resource ~&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 32px;" face="Times New Roman, serif" color="#7A0026"&gt;The Follow-Up Formula&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;From Introduction to Opportunity&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Attendees will receive a curated networking starter resource inspired by PWOCN’s signature framework, &lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#7A0026"&gt;The Follow-Up Formula&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;This starter resource is designed to help you:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Follow up with confidence after networking events&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Navigate post-event networking more effectively&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Stay visible without feeling awkward or overly promotional&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Create momentum after meeting someone new&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Strengthen your professional relationships through thoughtful communication&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Because the opportunity often begins after the first conversation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 32px;" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Member Bonus&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
