Le Networking
Le Networking Presentation
Four times a year, business women from the Seattle area meet to develop their network and share their experience during breakfast time.
At each networking event, the French American Chamber invites a key speaker connected in some way with France: a French native, a person working with France or simply a French passionate!

The exhibition [...] includes about 50 of Gauguin's brilliantly hued paintings, sculptures and works on paper, which are displayed alongside 60 major examples of Polynesian sculpture that fueled his search for the exotic. Organized by the Art Centre Basel, the show is comprised of works on loan from some of the world's most prestigious museums and private collections."

Le Networking with Lauren Adler
On November 10, Le Networking was pleased to welcome Lauren Adler as our guest speaker for an exciting discussion around chocolate and success!
Lauren Adler founded Chocolopolis to satisfy a craving for more than just chocolate. She has a passion for sharing the story of fine cacao in a way that is interesting and meaningful to everyone. From cacao's origins as a revered drink and valued currency for the Mayans, to its migration across the equatorial regions of the world, to the varied flavor profiles of different cacao regions, to the farming and production techniques required to make fantastic chocolate, she is fascinated by it all. A lifelong chocolate lover, Lauren has furthered her chocolate education by voraciously reading books about chocolate, playing with melted chocolate, and tasting chocolate to develop her palate, which she recognizes to be a lifelong pursuit.
