Offered to YLS members and the community, the Leadership Series features local community leaders who share about their personal career journey, leadership advice and guidance for young professionals, as well as their philanthropic and community involvement. Each event features a different local leader and offers the chance for guests to interact with the speaker and network with like-minded attendees.
