A Sense of Hope, Connection & Possibility

Tuesday, February 24, 2026

Since 2020, Love Out Loud’s Transformation Luncheon has brought together business, civic, and community leaders—people like you who care about building a stronger, more connected community. Each year, around 300 leaders from across sectors come together to build trust, form meaningful connections, and mobilize people and resources to drive authentic change.

Join us for a time of connection, updates on the work of Love Out Loud and our unique role in the community and the deep sense of abiding hope we feel.
