NWAEP monthly First Thursday networking events are a great opportunity for you to meet, network, stay informed, and stay connected with local environmental professionals. These events also provide an opportunity to connect with the NWAEP board to contribute ideas for future events, speakers, topics, trainings, and other activities.

First Thursday mixers are free and open to both NWAEP Members and non-members. NWAEP members in good standing receive one free drink ticket — so make sure your membership is up to date before you come! Also, please RSVP to let us know you are attending.
