Lunch with a Leader
This quarter’s Lunch with a Leader will be in November. Details to follow.
This is a private event for Leadership Kitsap Signature Program Alumni and current class.
Friday November 15, 2024 @ 12PM
Join the LKAA’s Lunch with a Leader for this special mealtime. With Thanksgiving just around the corner and harvest abundance all around us, it’s time to spotlight a reality for some of our neighbors: food insecurity. This November, join us in one of 12 seats the saved for LK Alumni and current class at the Bremerton Foodline’s newly renovated building to learn more about Executive Director Cori Kauk’s leadership journey and the Foodline’s mission in reducing hunger and improving quality of life for our community.
When asked about herself, Cori says, “I’m so proud of my 20+ year purpose-driven career that’s been focused on building community and making life better for others. I am an experienced and passionate leader and coach. My life focus has always been about building community wherever I go. My greatest offerings are building collaborations, improving organizational culture, nurturing leadership in others, moving organizations from point A-Z, leading through organizational change, creating gracious and welcoming space for all and modeling a healthy work / life balance. We are more productive members of society when we thrive at finding balance. My goal is to live and give with purpose based on my values.”
Special for this Quarter’s Lunch: BRING FOOD DONATION WITH YOU FOR THE FOOD BANK!
The next Lunch with a Leader will be held in February 2025.
Lunch with a Leader is a continuing education program for Leadership Kitsap Alumni. Join regional leaders for lunch and hear the stories of their leadership journeys. The conversations will be organic, thought-provoking, and alumni-lead.
Open to the first 12 alumni who register.
While this event is FREE to our LK alumni, if you do not show up and you do not cancel within 12 hours of the event, you will be billed $25 for your lunch. We anticipate a waiting list of others who would enjoy the opportunity to attend.
