Chapter Leadership Breakfast

SCTE’s volunteer-led chapters are a cornerstone of the community, creating opportunities for connection, education, and professional growth. Join us for a casual breakfast designed to bring chapter leaders together, share ideas, and build stronger connections. This is a great opportunity to network with fellow leaders, exchange best practices, and strengthen the chapter community that drives SCTE’s mission forward.
