The CEO Dinner series is one of the organizations longest standing institutions. During these events, our Professional Members have the opportunity to join a C-suite executive, entrepreneur, or senior level leader from a local company/organization for a private dinner. These events are intentionally limited to 10-20 people so everyone has a chance to listen, learn, share, and grow together through honest discussion. The speakers represent a wide range of companies and industries, both big and small. Attendees are also encouraged to network and make connections with other professional members in attendance.
