Impact After Hours: Andrew Gruel & Senator Tony Strickland
Join us for Impact After Hours, a Lincoln Club speaker series bringing together leaders from business and government for candid, timely conversations.
On April 9, we’re featuring celebrity chef and Huntington Beach City Councilman Andrew Gruel alongside California State Senator Tony Strickland for a joint keynote discussion on leadership, policy, and the future of California.
From rising costs to overregulation, the challenges facing California are real. This conversation will focus on what it takes to push back, get involved, and create a better path forward — and the role business leaders play in shaping what comes next.
This event is open to current Lincoln Club members and their guests. Questions about membership? Please contact Dena Cruden, at Dena@SDLincolnClub.com.
