and/or May 7 12:00 pm – 1:15pm

Join us for a complimentary, power lunch for component relations professionals (CRP) who want the knowledge and benefits of group discussions with fellow association professionals from organizations with chapters, components, sections, branches, or state affiliates.

These are non-formal and designed for busy professionals like you, however it works for you: come late, leave early, share, don’t share. Don’t worry: our lunches are peer-driven and anything but boring. These are jam-sessions with lunch, not lectures. You’ll leave with actionable ideas, insights, and inspirations you can put to work right away.
