WithIt sets 3 events for members, guests during fall Market
HIGH POINT — WithIt, the women’s leadership development network for the home and furnishings industries, will host three events during the October High Point Market, including its Education Breakfast, a networking event at Interlude Home and the annual WithIt Student Mentoring Day.
“High Point Market is an important gathering place for our industry, and we want WithIt’s programming to create opportunities that extend beyond the showrooms,” said Amy Van Dorp, executive director of WithIt. “These events give people a chance to learn, build relationships and make connections that can continue long after Market ends. We’re also proud to introduce students to the industry and help them begin building those relationships early in their careers.”
