Professional Breakthroughs:

A Fireside Chat with Dave Loomis

Start the New Year with an inspiring morning of leadership insights, career development, and networking at our inaugural Professional Breakthroughs event.

This special gathering features a panel discussion with community leaders who will share their wisdom and experiences. We welcome our first speaker of this ongoing series, Dave Loomis, a Friends of Breakthrough Board member, seasoned marketing executive, and entrepreneur.

Dave will share lessons learned from building his business, his expertise in leadership, and strategies for career growth. After the panel discussion, the audience will have the opportunity to participate in an engaging Q&A session with Dave.

This event is also a chance to connect with local professionals, community leaders, and Breakthrough Schools teachers and alumni. Start your day with coffee and bagels, and enjoy 30 minutes of networking in a vibrant and welcoming environment at the Breakthrough Professional Development Learning Center.
