REUNITE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND MEET CLASS 29!
|
Alumni from 2-3 different class years will be invited to join Class 29 members at day-end networking receptions throughout the year! Each reception will start at 5:00 p.m. at a Scottsdale restaurant or bar (locations to be determined). We're keeping it simple and informal: no RSVPs, no entry fees, and no program - just a chance to reconnect with friends, meet the new class and start the weekend with some fun. Why are we doing this? Recent alumni survey results indicate a desire to reconnect with classmates as well as the Core Program. Locations for receptions will be determined and communicated via email about one week in advance.
Upcoming dates:
Friday, Sept. 26 - Class 1 and Class 28
Friday, Oct. 10 - Class 2 and Class 27
Friday, Oct. 24 - Class 3 and Class 26
