Hello LEVELUP in NYC Community,
Happy New Year! As we reflect on the unforgettable networking moments of 2023, gear up for an even more spectacular journey in 2024!
🎥 Networking Highlights: Ball Drop NYE Event Hosted by Paul Jobson 🏆!
We kicked off the year in style at the Ball Drop Event in a Private Loft in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, hosted by Paul Jobson, one of NYC's most successful event producers. Huge shoutout to Paul for orchestrating a phenomenal event!
Amidst the celebration, we connected with our friend, Trevon Davis, Broadway Star featured in the Book of Mormon and Porgy and Bess. This soirée was a tribute to Black Excellence, setting the perfect tone for an extraordinary start to the new year.
We also had a chance to connect in person with many Members from our LEVELUP in NYC Community who attended the event. Subscribe today and follow us on Instagram to join our community so we can connect with you at the next event.
