Thursday, January 12th, 5:00 - 7:00 PM, Lewis and Clark

Just added!
Calling all young professionals! It's time to realize your New Years resolution to put down the technology, get out there and connect in person with your peers. We are giving you the perfect opportunity NEXT THURSDAY with our first YPN event of the year, sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Eugene and the fabulous Lewis and Clark venue!
You won't want to miss this fresh opportunity at one of Eugene's hidden gems. Lewis and Clark is the perfect place to host events and weddings -- and on your way in you'll get to take a peek at some of the gorgeous wheels at Mercedes, which might be a more affordable upgrade than you thought.
The fabulous food and drinks from Lewis and Clark will be the centerpiece of this event -- all we will be missing is you! Grab your friends and colleagues to start 2017 in person and in style.

WBL: Stretching yourself is critical for growth
|
|
Thursday, January 12th, 11:45 - 1:15, Hilton Eugene
|
 Women Business Leaders is kicking off 2017's speaker series with Comfort Zones: Why stretching yourself is critical to your growth, featuring Caroline Cummings, Oregon RAIN Venture Catalyst and Founder of Varo Ventures.
If you ask any successful person how they made it to where they are, most will tell you two things: first, they didn't make it there alone; and second, they did it from pushing their personal and professional limits. The latter occurs when you learn to identify and step beyond your comfort zone. Growth comes from a willingness to feel awkward and that usually results from trying new things. Caroline Cummings will share how to identify and step beyond your comfort zone so you can make your mark on the world. |
It's not to late to celebrate
|
|
Tuesday, January 24th, 5:30 - 9:00, Hilton Eugene

 We are just nine days away from the 2017 Celebration of Business and tables are filling quickly.
The event will highlight the achievements of 2016 and outline plans for the year ahead. We will introduce the new officers serving on the board of directors, including our new board chair, Mandy Jones, chief executive officer of Oregon Community Credit Union. We will honor Jon Ruiz, City Manager for the City of Eugene, as the recipient of the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce's 2016 First Citizen Award. Finally, we will recognize six emerging high school leaders and announce the winner of the Future First Citizen Award.
Please make plans to be a part of this celebration of business, community and leadership in Eugene at Chamber's annual meeting and banquet on January 24th. (Reservations are required)
