Description

Flywheel offers this event once a month to create new connections within the community by engaging in conversation with local leaders. INdeavor is a monthly luncheon, featuring a local leader, focused on topics that are relevant to your business interests and the inner workings of your local economy…so you can be INformed, INvolved and INvested in your community. A hot lunch is included! Join us for lunch with Emma Sellers, the City of Concord's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Coordinator. In this newly created role, Sellers will work with city leadership and community stakeholders to direct, coordinate, and implement programs and activities that establish DEI as a shared value across the organization and throughout the community.
