As we close out The Year of Us, we come together one final time to reflect, honor, and celebrate the journey. This quarter’s theme—Say Yes to Legacy—calls us to consider the impact we’re making every day through our choices, our presence, and our voices.

Legacy isn’t just what we leave behind. It’s what we build in real time—through the relationships we nurture, the confidence we claim, and the spaces we help shape for those who come after us. Together, we’ll reflect on the year’s lessons, acknowledge the growth we've experienced, and commit to carrying forward the power of saying yes.

This special luncheon also serves as our end-of-year celebration—a time to uplift one another, share our stories, and close the year in community and gratitude.
