Our Alumni Dinners are currently full! If you would like to be added to the waitlist, you may still sign up at the link below. If you need to make changes to an existing reservation, please contact Becky Rasmussen at beckyr@focus-stl.org.
This fall, we’re excited to return to in-person FOCUS Alumni Dinners!
If you haven’t had a chance to attend in the past, these dinners offer a unique opportunity to connect with other leaders in an informal setting. Simultaneous small dinners of 6-12 people will be held across the region in alumni homes giving you a chance to meet graduates from other classes and programs for an evening of engaging conversation. These dinners are open to all graduates and current participants in our FOCUS leadership programs.
These dinners would not be possible without the support of our generous alumni hosts who open their homes and provide a meal. When registering, please mark all dinners you would be willing/able to attend. (We recommend selecting at least 2-3, if possible.) Once dinners are confirmed, you will be contacted by your host with additional details, including the address and directions.
