Meet new leaders in town

TRUCKEE, Calif. — During the October 11 Good Morning Truckee, attendees will have the opportunity to meet new leaders in town.

The event will be an IN-PERSON event. There will not be a livestream, Zoom, or Channel 18 option; however, it will be recorded for viewing at a later date. The program features “New Faces” – get to know new leaders in town – which is best done in person.

 “A hallmark of Good Morning Truckee pre-pandemic was its incredible networking value,” said Chamber Chair Emily Vitas. “There were many “parking lot” conversations that just don’t happen when you are watching it via Zoom. We want to recapture that energy and bring people back to hear first hand the important information our speakers provide.”
