The CEO Dinner series is one of the organization's longest standing institutions. Professional Members have the opportunity to join local C-suite and high level executive leaders 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. Cost to attend is $35, which includes dinner and non-alcoholic beverages. 

*NOTE: This is a special CEO Dinner as it will be held at OverDrive's world headquarters, Blue Sky Campus, located in Garfield Heights. Dinner will be brought on site, and the event will also include a private tour of the facility.
