"GNMAA opened the door that led me to a career with Best Buy. I met my General Manager, Monica Salamon, at a GNMAA networking event this past summer. Little did I know meeting her would lead to an amazing opportunity for me to join the management team at the new Best Buy on Michigan Avenue. We are excited to be opening our doors Saturday, May 16th at 10 a.m. There will also be a sneak peak for GNMAA members Wednesday May 13th from 6-8 p.m. We hope to see you all at the new Best Buy on The Magnificent Mile!"
Brittany Gonzalez, Best Buy
"What I like about the GNMAA is how it has helped us evolve from being just a street to being a neighborhood. We have made so many great connections with our neighbors that have in turn have helped us grow our business and flourish on The Magnificent Mile."
Cathie Haley, H2O+
"Finesse Cuisine has benefited greatly from GNMAA networking events. Effective networking should amount to more than a simple exchange of contact information or industry news. Instead, networking should position you to learn about another person’s goals and desires and ways that you and your company may assist. While it is easy to list one’s own attributes and the benefits of your company, it is more important to focus on the other person. GNMAA events have provided Finesse endless opportunities to meet interesting people from various businesses, to develop friends, mentors and clientele."
Jon Wool, Finesse Cuisine
"Initially, the reason I became involved with GNMAA was to participate in a volunteer organization where I could exercise my interests in urban planning and to work with a variety of dedicated people with very diverse backgrounds and interests. I was pleasantly surprised to find through my work on committees, and, now more so in the leadership of committees, how these very people have become a valued resource for project leads, project work, and, ultimately teammates."
Jeff Reinke, OWP/P
