We look forward to celebrating business and community leadership, along with Community Action Partners 25th anniversary, a monumental milestone.

The event will include several awards and recognitions along with a personal fireside chat between event emcee, award winning WBZ-TV news journalist, Lisa Hughes and Stephen Pagliuca who will discuss the important role leaders need to take in social enterprise and community impact.
