Leadership Portage County

It's that time of year again! We invite LPC alumni to join us on Thursday, August 6, from 5pm to 7pm for Leadership Portage County's annual Summer Party on the Patio sponsored and hosted by Metis Construction Services! 🎉 This event always brings great networking and is a great way to spend a summer evening connecting with one another! RSVP by July 31 at leadershipportagecounty.org/events.

Leadership Portage County Alumni, current LPC class members, and members of Portage County Chambers and Rotary Clubs are invited to be guests for the evening. Your only cost? Please bring school supplies for Kent Social Services and the Center of Hope in Ravenna.

Kickstart your day with connection at our Lattes with Leaders Alumni Event on July 17, starting at 7:30am at Scribbles Coffee in Kent! ☕️ Gather with fellow alumni and have meaningful conversations over a fresh cup of coffee (the first one's on us!).
