Netowrking with someone within a bank not IBD - Worth it?

Hey guys

I have a pretty close networking contact that is a Senior VP at Bank of America in Dallas but this person doesn't work in IBD/FInance/Capital Markets etc. (this person is in the Community Impact/Non-profit/philanthrophy sector of the bank).

I happened to stumble across her business card the other day and I was wondering if it was worth networking with this person even though she's not in IBD but is at a high position and affiliated with a bank?

Agree with what Sav said.
