Members are encouraged to participate to the extent that they can maintain a good Life-Work Balance while understanding that the value of the group comes from participation.

SEMI-ANNUAL LUNCHEONS

Twice a year, Spring and Fall, we host a luncheon focused on professional development / education and networking.  Attempting to merge membership requests and current topics we schedule speakers to share their expertise with the group in an interactive format.

 

Luncheons are typically a half day event and are open to prospective members who are guest of a current member.

Past topics include:

SOCIAL & BUSINESS NETWORKING

Social and Business Networking activities are scheduled each quarter with the goal of building relationships and business knowledge between the members. Based on the idea that, “you don’t have to know everything – you just have to know someone who does”, social/business networking allow members to discover the wealth of resources available in other members.

 

Members and prospective members can join us for our monthly Refresh Social. There is a standing schedule for the last Wednesday of each month from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. Additional events are scheduled as opportunities arise. Check our Facebook page for updates!
