October Monthly Luncheon

Description

WIBA Monthly Luncheon

Connecting Wichita’s Business Community

Held on the second Tuesday this month, WIBA’s Monthly Luncheon brings together 200+ business owners, executives, and community leaders for lunch, connection, and learning. Each Monthly Luncheon features a hand-picked speaker who is relevant to today’s business community and focused on topics that support business growth, leadership, and professional development.

This core event provides a consistent space for members and guests to step away from their day-to-day responsibilities, build strong relationships, and stay engaged with Wichita’s business community.
