Lunch & Learn: Empowering Local Business

Join us for our November Lunch & Learn as we welcome students from Stanwood High School's Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) for an engaging presentation focused on practical strategies to help local businesses thrive.

Before the FBLA presentation, Ryan Ovenell, Superintendent of the Stanwood-Camano School District, will provide a brief State of Our Schools update, sharing highlights, current priorities, and important developments happening across the district.

FBLA students will then share fresh perspectives on topics such as marketing, customer engagement, branding, social media, business innovation, and other techniques that today's businesses can use to attract customers and strengthen their presence in the community. This is a unique opportunity to hear ideas from the next generation of business leaders while supporting the incredible work being done by our local students.

Whether you're a small business owner, nonprofit leader, entrepreneur, or simply looking to connect with fellow professionals, you'll leave with new ideas, valuable insights, and meaningful community connections.
