<p class="MsoNormal">The past few years have been wild and, I will add, a bit crazy in the world of networking. After decades of doing things the same old way, the world shut down. Our Gotham Community stayed together and rode it out.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had more meetings, more programming and more opportunities for building relationships. Sure, some didn\u2019t find zoom to be personal enough and some events had to be put on hold for a bit, but we made it through in Gotham style - meeting,
golfing, picnicking, partying and business building however and whenever we could. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Being nimble is what has allowed us to enjoy a business networking community rich in resources and designed to support each of us personally and professionally. What makes it all work is you and what you bring to the table - whether online
or in person. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
