The idea behind the lunch is simple – it gives 11 young professionals a chance to learn from our community’s best and brightest leaders in a casual setting. \nRegister here to enter to win! This event is reserved for YPAL Members Only. Join here! \nThe fine print: Your registration does not confirm attendance. YPAL members must register to enter their name to win a spot by Monday\, April 1 at noon. 11 winners will be selected at random that day. If you are one of the lucky 11 winners\, you will receive an email to RSVP by April 2 and the event is free and your lunch is taken care of\, thanks to our generous sponsor PNC. \n— \nThis month\, in honor of YPAL’s 25th Anniversary\, 11 members will be invited to have lunch with YPAL Alumni\, Ben Reno-Weber. A Louisville native\, Ben started his career as a social entrepreneur with the World Bank’s global microfinance unit\, focused on creating greater access to capital among marginalized communities\, particularly in the Balkans and former Soviet Union. He earned an MBA and MPA from Harvard’s Business and Kennedy School and joined the Boston Consulting Group in 2009\, where he focused on corporate culture and change management. \nOn his return to Kentucky\, he ran a series of organizations at the intersection of business and social impact\, including a tech start up\, several non-profits\, a consulting firm focused on company culture\, and foundation-funded entities. As former Director of the Microsoft-funded Future of Work Initiative\, he worked to build the local skill-base in the data-economy workforce\, with a particular focus on connecting resources that support marginalized community members to obtain “future-proof” jobs in technology and AI-related fields. \nAs Deputy Director of the Health Equity Innovation Hub at the University of Louisville\, the team Ben works with is leveraging an investment by the Humana Foundation to make the innovation ecosystem in healthcare more open\, transparent\, and equitable\, while elevating the voices of those whose lived experiences give them unique insight into the most pressing issues in health. In the process he gets to hang out with innovators\, faith leaders\, community members\, researchers\, technologists\, startup founders\, industry thought leaders\, investors\, and health practitioners\, which he thinks is pretty cool. \nIn 2023\, his wife Theresa and three children finally acknowledged that his mastery of dad jokes has become apparent. \nThank you to our Lunch for 11 series sponsor: PNC \nMore Details: \nAttire: Come as you are! \nParking: Street parking \nEvent Flow: Casual lunch with our featured leader. Everyone will introduce themselves and share one thing they are looking forward to hearing from our leader. \nWheelchair Accessible? Yes \nNeighborhood: Deer Park \nBus Line: Plan your TARC Route
