The Board invites you to join us for a warm, relaxed holiday gathering with your friends and colleagues from National Speakers Association of Northern California. This is your chance to step away from the hustle, enjoy great food, and celebrate the season together. No agenda, no presentations, just meaningful connection. There will be book raffles by authors from our chapter just for fun.
We’ll be gathering at the cozy and beloved The Chicken Pie Shop in Walnut Creek for an event filled with laughter, conversation, and holiday cheer.
What to Expect:
- Casual, come-as-you-are networking
- Chicken Pie Shop buffet and festive atmosphere
- Genuine connection with fellow members
- A joyful close to an impactful year
- No-host bar
