Lunch and Learn series was launched in 2020 to connect you to each other and invited guests to dig deeper into topics that are timely and relevant. These are not just one-way conversations – no hour-long PowerPoint presentations, no drinking from a fire hose of information – just one hour to talk about the issues that are most important to you and your organization. We are intentionally built this program to be responsive and flexible. Keep an eye out for our monthly newsletters to stay informed on important future sessions! We’d love to have you join with us!
