The Charles River Regional Chamber’s Spring Business Breakfast will be on Friday, May 15, 7-9:30 a.m. at the Sheraton Needham. See details in the announcement from the Chamber, below.
The Spring Business Breakfast is our annual May gathering of 200+ business, nonprofit, and civic leaders from across Newton, Needham, Watertown, Wellesley, Brookline and the broader region.
This year’s keynote speaker is Needham High grad Jeff Taylor, a serial entrepreneur best known as the founder of Monster.com — one of the earliest internet companies to transform the job search. As founder and CEO of Boomband, he’s building the replacement: an AI-native talent marketplace that ditches the static resume in favor of dynamic “Dossiers” designed to put human discovery back at the center of hiring.
We just added a panel discussion with regional nonprofit leaders looking at how Greater Boston is navigating growing strain on the safety net — from funding cuts to inflation and other economic headwinds. We’ll also cover the role the business community can and needs to play at this moment.
Our panelists:
Ashley Stanley, Founder and CEO, Spoonfuls
Larry Seamans, President & CEO, FamilyAid
Alicia Kabir, Executive Director, Cradles to Crayons
Coffee and networking will begin in the Sheraton courtyard at 7 a.m. before the formal event begins 8 a.m.
Members: Early bird savings ends FRIDAY (April 24) $85, then $100
Tables and Sponsorships also available.
