Our Chapter’s Programs & Events:
We host a monthly lunch program with speakers with topic/book/article they will talk about to get the discussion going – then it goes from there with plenty of audience participation and discussion. Site visits where we visit and tour a project. Our Summer Outings are usually focused on a nonprofit organization. Annual Meeting with chapter business, awards, a keynote speaker, and social gathering time. In 2024, we initiated a series of Salons to complement monthly programs that bring together small groups of members for a discussion over a meal at a member’s home or other location. The Salons deepen LAI member knowledge, broaden understanding of selected topics, and develop camaraderie with fellow members.

These programs are held from noon to 1:30 p.m. Chapter members receive 8 complimentary lunches as part of their paid annual dues. Invited guests are welcome. The luncheon meetings provide continuing opportunities for chapter members to stay abreast and develop and nurture personal friendships and business relationships with other members and invited guests.
