Youth Level Up Networking Skills at JIT Etiquette Dinner
Enter a world of fine dining and firm handshakes
What is cocktail attire? What’s the difference between a salad fork and a dinner fork? How do you introduce yourself, and how do you exit a conversation? Navigating a business lunch or a banquet dinner can be a daunting task for the uninitiated, which is why every year, we give our participants the chance to test the waters in a safe and fun environment – The Annual JIT Etiquette Dinner!
This year’s event was hosted by the fabulously refined Maurice Norris and Joan McClintock and was attended by more than 40 youth!
At the JIT office, linen cloths draped tables set for a three-course meal which included spring salad of wild mushrooms and raspberry vinaigrette, Tender Chicken Tikki Masala and chocolate fudge brownies.
Throughout the evening, youth were challenged to introduce themselves and shake hands with people they didn’t know. They were given priceless tips on how to start conversations, how to politely decline to answer questions, and even where to put their purses as they dined!
For participants who will be attending JIT’s upcoming Empower Parties, where they will have the opportunity to meet and make meaningful connections with influential people within the JIT community, the Etiquette Dinner gives them the extra bit of confidence to relax, enjoy themselves, and have a great time!
Thank You to Maurice Norris and Joan McClintock for Facilitating This Fabulous Dinner!
