Close out the summer with the Twin Cities Black Employee Network (TC-BEN) for an evening of connection, conversation, music, and community at Mezzo Mezzo inside The Lofton Hotel Minneapolis.

Our End of Summer Social brings together Twin Cities professionals to meet, reconnect, expand their circles, and connect beyond the workplace.

Come early to mix and mingle, stay for our featured conversation, and keep the connections going afterward. The Social is the evening—with a few special experiences woven in.

FEATURED CONVERSATION

Wellness Wins: Sustaining Success Without Burnout

We talk a lot about achieving success—but not nearly enough about what it takes to sustain it.

Wellness Wins brings that conversation into the room with an engaging discussion about the realities of ambition, burnout, boundaries, and creating a version of success you can actually sustain.

Featuring Nicole Tabor, SHRM-CP, CEO & Principal HR Consultant, Abundant HR Solutions, and Dr. Kahlil Permenter, Co-Owner, Right Spot Wellness.

Moderated by Marla Etheridge, Director, TC-BEN.
