What a morning at the June Breakfast Club! Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Main Street Bank, and Coffee Sponsor, LLB Architects, for making it all possible — and to the Beechwood Hotel for being such a wonderful host, as always.

We kicked things off with some well-deserved salutes: congratulations to the YMCA of Central Massachusetts on 175 years of serving our community, to Ed Augustus on his new role as CEO of UniBank MA, to Rosie Fayard on becoming the new Executive Director of the Worcester Educational Development Foundation, and to Amy Peterson on her appointment as General Manager of the DCU Center. Worcester is in great hands!

Our keynote this month came from Brooke Thomson, President & CEO of Associated Industries of Massachusetts, and she did not disappoint. And a big thank you to our Chief Greeter, Adwoa Sayki-Lamptey of Clark University, for welcoming everyone with such warmth.

Great people, great conversation, great city. ☕
