GUEST SPEAKERS
We’ve got a great mix of members with all kinds of knowledge and experiences, so we like to keep things interesting! At our meetings, we invite guest speakers to share talks that are thought-provoking, fun, informative—and sometimes even a bit humorous.
Got a topic you’d love to hear about? Know someone who’d make a great speaker? Let us know! We also love when members share their own interests or expertise with the group. It’s all about learning from each other and keeping the conversations fresh
