The purpose of The Executive Luncheon is to connect Columbus-area young professionals with C-Suite executives and community leaders to exchange leadership lessons and career advice during a professionally-focused, interactive lunch experience. Each attendee is seated at a roundtable with a local executive and a group of emerging leaders! This event is typically hosted in February.
Special thanks to our event sponsors: Stolly Insurance, Huntington Bank, Conway Center for Family Business, Franklin University, Discover Financial, and Quantum Health.
