Lunch with Leaders - November 2026

Description

Strengthening the bonds within our business community is vital for continued growth and regional success. You are invited to join us for our Lunch with Leaders program on Wednesday, November 18, held in the Ballroom of Ameristar Casino Resort Spa.

This isn't just another networking event—it’s a true pleasure to invite you to an afternoon that promises to elevate how you serve your customers, team, and community. Whether you operate in retail, professional services, B2B, or healthcare, top-tier hospitality is the secret sauce that transforms standard transactions into lifelong loyalty. Every single business, regardless of industry, will walk away with actionable nuggets of wisdom to immediately enhance their client experience and workplace culture.

We are thrilled to welcome Andre Dansberry, Director of People & Culture at Chick-fil-A, as our featured speaker. Drawing from the gold standard of customer care, Andre will share how intentional hospitality training builds thriving teams and creates remarkable customer interactions. No matter your background, you’ll discover practical strategies to serve your clients with excellence and care.

This gathering provides a professional atmosphere to engage with fellow business owners and community advocates, offering a chance to build the connections that help our local economy flourish. We are proud to have Under the Yellow Umbrella as our sponsor for this afternoon of networking and collaboration.

Because we value high-quality interactions, space for this event is limited. Registration will close on November 15, 2026, or once we reach our capacity of 150 attendees, whichever occurs first. Reserve your seat today so you don't miss out on this high-impact opportunity—it would be our pleasure to see you there!
