Great Reads, Great Connections: Your Summer Social and Book Exchange

Which book inspires you? Which convinced you to think differently about the work you do? The way you work?

In a world saturated with fleeting digital content, books often provide the foundational insights that truly shift our perspectives.

Think about it: what book has lingered with you, prompting a fundamental change in how you approach your role, or even how you navigate your professional life?

This event is designed to tap into that wellspring of inspiration. By sharing the books that have influenced us, we unlock opportunities for collective learning and discovery that go beyond surface-level interactions.

6:00 PM — Welcome / Informal Networking / Book Exchange

6:15 PM — Structured Networking

6:30 PM — A Little Chapter Business

6:40 PM — Small Group Discussions 

7:00 PM — Structured Networking

What To Bring

Bring a book that you're willing to part with to share with your peers for our book table (it doesn't have to be related to talent development).  We do ask that the books be in good condition (we won't balk at a few notes on the side).

Don't want to give away your source of inspiration? No problem! We look forward to hearing why it's impacted your perspective!
