On Friday, May 21, at four o’clock in the afternoon, the Beta Lambda Chapter of Gamma Xi Phi hosted a workshop called LinkedIn for Artists and Creators, presented by Ms. Zoila J. Primo.

The presentation, which had nearly 20 registrants, provided helpful advice on how to utilize LinkedIn to establish and reinforce a reputation as an artist, regardless of discipline.

Ms. Primo, who is baker as well as a people and culture professional of over ten years, also discussed the culture of LinkedIn and how to provide an authentic and polished identity to potential job leads and clients.

“Wonderful program,” one guest said.  “Very helpful as a mid-career changer.”

The interactive presentation allowed participants to edit their profiles in real time.  Organic networking also occurred, as those present shared their LinkedIn profiles in chat.

The Beta Lambda Chapter of Gamma Xi Phi was established to provide a pathway to membership for those artists living in rural and remote areas of the fraternity’s South Atlantic Region.

Gamma Xi Phi is a predominantly Black, national fraternity for men and women in the arts and entertainment.
