Greetings [NAME],
I hope your week is going well. As you know, I’ve settled into my [ROLE] quite well and am enjoying my work immensely. However, I do believe I have capacity and energy to contribute more to the [TEAM NAME] team here at [COMPANY NAME].
I recently discovered the Missoula Businesswomen’s Networking group and I would love to join to continue my professional development journey. The group offers monthly morning, lunch time, and afternoon networking events, where I’m able to meet other professional women in the area, and attend their learning events. I’m looking to attend events that align with my work availability, ideally the lunch meetings at a minimum, where my understanding is that many of the learning events occur. When it makes sense, I’d love to share back with the team what I learn at these events and pass along the knowledge. This is also a great opportunity for our internal team to [GROW, MAKE NEW CONNECTIONS, ETC. based on your industry and organization needs].
I would love to discuss this with you more in depth, and how I believe it would improve my overall skill set and allow me to contribute even more to our team.
Thank you for your time.
Best,
[YOUR NAME]
