This monthly series, limited seating, in-person event, highlights one local Community Leader/Influencer in a casual, friendly, sit-down atmosphere. Held in a private room at Sullivan's Steakhouse, both NACC and community members are given the opportunity to interact and ask questions to those that Naperville owes its past and present to, and during this lunch, perhaps share ideas on its future as well.
This month's event will be hosted by Nicholas Scarpino, SVP of Marketing of Portillo's Hot Dogs. This is a face-to-face meeting opportunity and is limited to 15 guests per event - so, be sure to register early!
Pre-registration is required.
