The PEEL: Pittsburgh’s Elevated & Emerging Leaders, LADIES LUNCH & LAUGHTER have started off with a BANG, and we are going to keep the inspiration and kindness rolling!
We are hosting these luncheons at a new venue, Gaetano’s Event Center! They are open to both PEEL Members and Non Members, but it is more economical as a member, and our members have the opportunity to be spotlighted during the luncheon and on all PEEL media for the month.
These luncheons have it all, delectable cuisine, a fun environment, tons of inspiration and networking, and always some fun surprises and give-a-ways!
Plus! We have something VERY special happening at the April Luncheon!
*There will be video recordings. Just a heads up!
