The Wharton Club of NJ is committed to providing members with both the networking forum and networking coaching, so that all members get the most out of one of the greatest business networks in the world – Wharton alumni! WCNJ offers networking opportunities for its members through Networking Group meetings across most New Jersey counties (see below). (Note: Wharton Networking Groups were previously known as Wharton Leads Councils.) Share business ideas & leads, and learn about each other’s business interests. Networking is something that successful people in the business community do throughout their entire career– friendships with influential people take time to develop. New members to each group are welcome. Contact your county’s group organizer for more information:
