Recap: Eastern ARIDO Emerging Professionals Night
This event marked EAC’s very first Emerging Professionals event in the region!
Designed for interns, students, our young professionals, the evening created a relaxed and welcoming space for attendees to connect, share experiences, and build relationships—making it a great success!
The night began with light networking before transitioning into an engaging, panel-style discussion led by Registered Members Katarina Yannoulopoulos, Hillary Tippett, and Merissa Reed. Their insights on developing leadership skills early, finding and approaching mentors, and balancing work with ongoing studies resonated strongly with attendees and sparked meaningful conversation.
To keep the momentum going, participants took part in an interactive networking activity using bingo-style conversation prompts—turning introductions into connections and keeping the room energized throughout the evening.
Huge thanks to Euro Tile & Stone for hosting and supporting the event, and to Altro and Waterman Sales for contributing prizes!
