2025-2026 Bi-Monthly Programs

CCPG is working on an exciting lineup of presenters for its 2025-2026 Season. This year’s Bi-Monthly Programs will be hosted in a hybrid format, so you have the option to attend virtually or in-person with the exception of the March Roundtable Program which will be in-person only. All in-person attendees will also receive a boxed lunch, complimentary with event registration.

Not a member? Join today! 

We hope to see you there!
