Rotarians hear business
networking is a lost art.
Public Speaker Mike For-
man, a U.S. Air Force and
Desert Storm veteran,
spoke to local Rotarians on
ways and means to build
business networking ca-
pabilities. His main points
were: smile (personality)
and humor. Emphasizing
FORM (Family, Occupa-
tion, Recreation, Message)
along with rapport and
respect, especially for cul-
tural differences, will help
to bond a person within a
desired social circle. As for
a networking event, be the
host not a guest, listen more than you talk, and be proactive. Lastly, use social media to
build the network. Pictured are Rotary President Marcy Sanders and Forman.
