NAAAP Toronto holds a number of exciting events throughout the year for members, non-members and special guests from the professional community. Your help as an Event Host is needed at various events, in particular the monthly Signature Business Mixers, to help welcome attendees, bridge cultural barriers, stimulate interaction and conversation.

As an Event Host...

• Maintain an inclusive environment by ensuring that all attendees had an opportunity to meet new people
• Be attentive to those that seem to be new in attending a mixer and seem initially uncomfortable
