Description:

The Black Professionals Network invites the community to a special lunchtime screening of BPN’s oral history project, featuring interviews with the founding members who shaped the network’s earliest vision and laid the groundwork for its growth. This documentary‑style reflection offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the individuals who built BPN’s foundation—sharing their motivations, challenges, and hopes for the future.

Over lunch, attendees will explore the stories behind BPN’s creation, the evolution of its mission, and the collective effort that has sustained the network for a decade. The screening provides a meaningful start to our anniversary celebrations and serves as a powerful lead‑in to Black History Month, honoring the legacy, leadership, and community that continue to define BPN.

Register to join us for an afternoon of storytelling, conversation, and connection as we celebrate where we’ve come from—and the future we are building together.

Light refreshments will be provided.
