An exceptional corporate resource network.


Escape the Room
What better way to spend a chilly February night than to get locked in a room with 6 other TRG members and try to get out! Clues scattered throughout the room in the form of locks, codes, maps and compasses helped everyone work as a team to try and beat the 1 hour clock to Escape the Room. Although we were not victorious, we learned how to work toghether, scrambled our brains and had many laughs.


TRG at The Friars Club
In October, twenty five select guests joined TRG members in the Milton Berle Room at the legendary Friars Club in midtown Manhattan. At this very special networking event, important clients and potential new members enjoyed cocktails and hors d’ourvres while making valued connections with TRG professionals. The room remained full and conversation lively well beyond the intended end time.




TRG Summer Rooftop Networking
Members of TRG enjoyed a gorgeous evening of beautiful weather, cocktails and socializing with a glorious backdrop of New York City. A few times a year, the group plans a more informal networking event where they invite guests and undwind in a very casual post-work atmosphere.

Crown-making, Playdough,
pizza and ice cream nights with the kids at Ronald McDonald House
To date, TRG has visited the families of Ronald McDonald House on four occasions. Eight members meet at 405 E 73rd street to provide dinner and a fun dessert activity (think cupcake decorating!) while a creative crafts event happens downstairs in the play room. Yes, these nights at RMH provide the kids and their families with an evening of activity, but it also teaches our members how important it is to be of service to those in our community.

Speed Networking
An exciting round of speed networking challenged members and their guests to learn about one another's businesses in a short 3-minute span. A wine and cheese reception followed the networking rounds where attendees got to follow-up with connections and share referrals.

Murrays Cheese Tasting
TRG hosted clients and guests at a very special tasting at Murray's Cheese on Bleeker Street. The party was treated to four varieties of cheese made there in the caves below. Gruyere, Chevre, Stilton and Fiore Sardo were paired with wine and great conversation. The highlight of this event was donning white paper suits with proper caps to visit the cheese caves. This special event provided the opportunity to thank our clients, socialize with each other and network.

Coalition for the Homeless
Isaac Simon delivers food for New York City's homeless every Tuesday night. He makes 5 stops throughout the city and feeds up to 150 people each night from the back of the Coalition for the Homeless van. Often, Isaac asks TRG members to hop on board and help him serve the needy. Read more about it here.

TRG Break-off Groups
There is important value in getting to know each other in a small group dynamic. TRG organizes break-off groups of four to five members each. Ping-pong tournaments, Carolines for a night of comedy, and interactive theater have all been on the list. These smaller groups are usually comprised of a unique mix of members, encouraging out-of-the box conversation about how we can help one another in business and ultimately, provide referrals.

One-on-Ones
If you don't really know someone, how can you refer them business? TRG encourages each member to meet one-on-one with other members at least once every six months. Art Openings, cocktails, volunteering and even an hour at a cafe helps keep all members updated on each others evolving careers and achievements.

Bowling at Bowlmor Lanes
Bowling at Bowlmor lanes has been a members-only event for a few years now. It has been a fabulous way to unwind after work, joke around with other members, have a few cocktails and kick up your bowling shoes.
