(IN PERSON) Bring Your Shoes: A Fresh Perspective for Leaders with Big Shoes to Fill

Note: This is the in-person registration page for our hybrid in-person/virtual event.

We realize that not everyone is experiencing the effects of COVID-19 the same. In an effort to meet the needs of all our members, we are offering a hybrid in-person/virtual event to give those not in a high-risk situation, or who are comfortable meeting in person, the chance to connect and network. The in-person event will be limited to 15 people (or how many we can have according to current COVID-19 restrictions) and requirements will be followed. Masks are required. If you’re seated at a table, you can remove it. However, any movement throughout the space requires a mask. We are also offering a livestream of the event for those who would prefer to attend virtually.
