Bigwig Lunch Times (BLTs) provide young professionals up close and personal interaction with some of the most influential and high profile business and community leaders on PEI. Each BLT features a local "bigwig", who shares insights into their career, as well as offers advice for career success. The lunch will offer limited availability in order to insure an intimate experience for members.
