Speakers will be business owners and leaders from our community who we know or should know, with stories of inspiration to share. The talks will be held at The Mill’s Theatre N, and the speakers will be captured on video and archived on the Grit Talk website for ongoing sharing and viewing. Guests will be asked to arrive at Theatre N at 8:00 a.m. for thirty minutes of coffee and networking.
