For December, we will start by hearing our Presidential candidates’ short speeches, then our much-anticipated members only engagement exercises will begin! Each table will be competing for the most points by guessing which clues belong to which members. Festive mimosas will be available, because, well, Tanner wanted it that way. We look forward to seeing you all there and continuing the holiday cheer!

What’s Your “And”?: Create Unique Cultures that Attract and Retain Engaged Talent
Talent is at a premium, so organizations need to differentiate themselves more than ever before. The future professional doesn’t define expertise simply in college degrees and certifications. They have passions outside of work that enhance their ability to develop stronger levels of trust with colleagues and customers. Through hilarious stories and extensive research, this keynote encourages organizations to uncover their people’s passions in order to increase the lifetime value of every employee.
John Garrett — thought provoker, catalyst for change, and award-winning author — is on a mission to create better workplaces. What the two-time Emmy nominee may do best is champion the human side of professionals, consulting with organizations to develop more productive cultures while shining a light on their people’s rich lives outside of work. Delivering inspiring keynotes about his research and recording over 500 podcast episodes of What’s Your “And”? landed him on Accounting Today’s list of the top 100 most influential people in the profession.
