  • November 16: Corporate Membership Breakfast Series

    Corporate membership breakfasts are back and the next one is quickly approaching on Wednesday, November 16th at Conner Insurance.

    The meetings will be from 7:30 am – 9:00 am with the first 20-30 minutes dedicated to networking/introductions/business items, etc. followed by a 45-minute speaker presentation with time for Q&A.

    On November 16 we will hear from sought after speaker, author and advisor, CJ McClanahan.

    Since 2003, CJ has spent more than 10,000 hours in front of entrepreneurs, executives and their teams helping them achieve personal and professional breakthrough goals.

    However, no matter how much success his clients achieved, few ever seemed to truly enjoy the journey. It didn’t matter if they doubled their income or became CEO – it never seemed to be enough.

    CJ has spent the last 19 years uncovering strategies to help fellow recovering overachievers get more satisfaction and joy in their lives while still achieving their professional goals.


    This event is for Rotary Club of Indianapolis Corporate Members or those interested in becoming a corporate member. Please register on Eventbrite if you plan on attending.

    Save the date for the following future corporate member breakfasts:
    Wednesday, January 11, 2023
    Wednesday, April 12, 2023
    Wednesday, July 12, 2023
