TPC Hosts Networking Event

The Professional Club will host its first networking event of the fiscal year on Sept. 25 at IlMoro restaurant in West Los Angeles.

The TPC is a networking group made up of members of the finance and legal community and other executives, including certified public accountants, attorneys, bankers, insurance brokers and other service professionals.

The organization was originally called the Textile Professional Club, and many of its current members continue to specialize in the apparel and textile industries.

“Since the club’s inception over 50 years ago, its role has been to create a setting for industry power brokers to meet, greet and form lasting bonds that encompass both their professional and personal lives,” said Robert Mahl, vice president of Santa Monica, Calif.–based insurance broker Kessler and TPC secretary.

“TPC has grown from its roots as a niche networking organization within the textile and apparel industries (hence the old name, ’Textile Professionals Club’) to a much larger group across a broad array of industries that includes other consumer products in addition to apparel.”

The Sept. 25 event will begin with cocktails and networking at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. The cost to attend is $80 for reservations received before Sept. 23. After Sept. 23, the cost is $95.
