The DSVC is back with a reformatted speaker series for the 22-23 season! Join us Friday afternoon and evening at our new event, Mixed Success, featuring our THREE keynote speakers: Timothy Goodman, Eileen Tjan, and Alex Anderson. This is the first of three mixed success events we will be hosting this season and we hope to see you at all of them! Does this mean we will no longer have monthly speaker meetings? Yes it does. But your membership will still give you the chance to hear from 9 incredible speakers this season, at our fall event, winter event, and summer event.
