Breakfast is coming at you a bit differently this month -- we will be hosted by Cobalt Sponsor, Tucson Electric Power. And breakfast is FREE thanks to TEP's generosity. Registration will be limited to Chamber members only through May 6, after which time it will be open to non-members as well. Remember that registration is still required. 

We are very pleased that we will be joined by Lorie Sandaine, Disability & Inclusion Activist/Speaker, who will inspire and inform us on ways to create truly inclusive work environments.
