The Network is Greater Washington’s hub for Jewish business professionals to connect, collaborate, and lead with purpose. It serves as the intersection of the business and Jewish community in Greater Washington, creating an entry point for likeminded business professionals to connect through a Jewish lens.

Cocktails & Conversation is the Network’s signature program that brings together Jewish business leaders in an intimate setting to engage in meaningful discussion and learn about the work of Federation in their community.
