BOARDROOM LUNCHES ARE BACK! After a brief holiday hiatus, the WCDFW is looking to schedule our fifth year of "Boardroom Lunches," a quarterly series of exclusive lunches, each one focused on a very specific professional function.
The purpose of the micro-lunches is to provide an intimate setting for 10-15 attendees in which our alumni can meet and engage their peer group in a protected, informative, and effective way. Our next executive lunch will be hosted by Orman Anderson, CFO of Glazer's Beer and Beverage. We are finalizing the date for late February, so check our website soon for the registration link and details, and RSVP early since attendance is limited!
To keep the momentum going in 2023, we are looking for an additional 3-4 Wharton alumni Presidents/CEOs/CFOs/CMOs to host one of the next few quarterly meetings. All that is needed of the host is a provide lunch for the group and have a conference room large enough to hold up to 15 attendees. The WCDFW will handle website publication and marketing for the event. These lunches are a great way to not only network, but to develop more connected relationships with Wharton peers. Please email [email protected] (WG01) if you are available to host and she can finalize meeting logistics with you.
