Virtual Meeting 

The Northern New England Women’s Investors Network is excited to present “Office Hours with an Angel!”  Join Sandra Stone, Maine Angels’ Chair Emerita, and Bobbie Lamont, Membership Chair of Maine Angels, on Thursday March 21 from 12:30-1:30 for an open discussion with an Angel investor. This if an opportunity to bring up that question or topic in angel investing in a safe environment – no topic too big or too small.   Whether you’ve done some angel investing or none at all OR are just curious to learn more about how to get started and what it’s all about – this meeting is for you.
