Professional Lunch

Create a Personal Relationship With a Community Leader

The Power Lunch series takes place over four meals during lunchtime from September-November. Small groups of 3-4 have the unique opportunity to meet with one community leader for lunch. This personal interaction provides
community leaders with an opportunity to candidly share experiences,
while members are able to ask questions. By meeting with the same
group for three months, each group has an opportunity to build lasting
relationships with the leaders in the community.

"As a former participant in the power lunch program, I highly recommend this to anyone interested! This format is great for the emerging leaders to learn from and build new relationships that they may not have a chance otherwise. These programs also seem to benefit community leaders and provide a chance to engage with a younger demographic and share helpful insights. We found that organic relationships formed well after the lunch series ended, and we continue to stay in touch today."
