Tips from the Top: Deputy Commissioner Glendowlyn Thames
Tonight’s event, Tips from the Top with Glendowlyn Thames, is being rescheduled for a time when we can gather in person. Designed to be a casual conversation, Tips from the Top is not translating as well as we had hoped to the Zoom format. Ms. Thames and the Chamber look forward to setting up a time to meet and enjoy a great discussion.
Please look for an email with the new date, time and location.
