Soliciting Luncheon Topics
While the judges who are kind enough to speak at our lunches sometimes have specific topics they'd like to address, more often they want to know what topics our members are interested in. So now's your chance to influence the topic of an upcoming luncheon presentation. If there's any specific topic or issue you would like the judges to address at one of our upcoming lunches, please contact Courtney Angeli, Oregon Chapter president.

Chapter Email Addresses
