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. 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, Jan. 16 - Class 7 and Class 22
Friday, Jan. 30 - Class 8, Class 15 & Class 21
Friday, Feb. 13 - Class 9 and Class 20

Wednesday, January 14

Featured Guest Speaker Coach Marv Levy

The Scottsdale MLK Dinner was initiated by CCD's founding member, Sandra Rembrandt. In the early 1990's, members from across the valley traveled to Phoenix to celebrate Dr. King's birthday. Ms. Rembrandt had a passion for Dr. King's legacy and felt citizens from the Scottsdale community would take pride in hosting a celebration in its own community. Today, Scottsdale's celebration serves as a signature celebration for the entire valley that includes national renowned speakers representing a myriad of diversity perspectives honoring the history and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
