End of Year Function

Our End of Year Function is a moment to pause and properly close out the year together. Hosted as a festive lunch, it brings association professionals together to reflect on the year that’s been, acknowledge shared challenges and successes, and step back from the day-to-day before the summer break.

The lunch will feature a keynote speaker offering perspective and insight relevant to association leadership, alongside good conversation and time to reconnect with peers. It’s intentionally unhurried — a chance to strengthen relationships and finish the year on a thoughtful, positive note.
