The New York City chapter of DinnerGrrls.org would like to thank DinnerGuest Rabia de Lande Long for joining us over dinner last night. Rabia was a source of a tremendous amount of advice and inspiration. Just by sharing her story of her own career development she offered an encouraging example to her younger sisters.
(While Jamie Heller was unable to attend due to a last-minute obligation, we thank her generous offer and have included her “talking points” below.)
