CEO Corner
Dear INSERT_FIRST_NAME,
 
The trees outside my house are flowering, the robins have taken over the playground, the Red Sox are not quite in last place and our signature, member-wide networking event is back! Join us on Tuesday, May 10, for Connect 2022 (formerly the Annual Meeting & Networking Reception) where we’ll be celebrating, you guessed it…YOU! 

Catch up with friends old and new as you enjoy drinks and food, live entertainment and a beautiful view of the Boston skyline and Charles River. You’ll also meet our impressive scholarship winners and welcome our new board members. Please say “hi” to me when you’re there – I can’t wait to see our members in-person again!

RSVP to Connect 2022 here. The event will take place from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, and parking is available at a discounted rate of $15. Please share this with your colleagues and encourage them to join in on the fun! If you have questions, please contact us via email or at 617.556.4000.  

Have a great weekend and I’ll see you in a couple of weeks!
