About Skyline Luncheons

• All Skyline luncheons are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month. They begin at 12:00pm with a 10 minute unstructured networking session. At 12:10, after a short introduction and after we’ve dealt with some administrative matters, the presentation begins. From 1:00pm to 1:30pm continued unstructured networking time is available for interested parties.
