PROGRAM CATEGORIES

PD DINNER SERIES
Evening programs featuring dynamic speakers, panels, and conversations that spark new ideas and perspectives. Dinners are facilitated in a progressive format that encourages members to connect deeply with those at their tables while engaging in meaningful dialogue around the selected topic.

PD LUNCH SERIES
Midday gatherings designed for connection and learning, featuring speakers and discussions that provide inspiration and practical insights. These programs fit seamlessly into the workday while offering members an energizing opportunity to learn and connect.

SIGNATURE GATHERINGS
Annual events that represent the cornerstone of PD’s programming. These highly attended gatherings—including the Imprint Awards, Holiday Party, Summer Boat Cruise and Annual Meeting—are considered priorities for full member participation and celebration.

MEMBERCONNECT
For longtime PD members, these will feel familiar—they were once known as Third Thursdays. Rather than creating stand-alone events, we heard feedback that PD should join in on the great things already happening in the community. MemberConnect focuses on experiences aligned with our mission and on supporting our members’ endeavors. These monthly gatherings are casual, low- to no-cost, and fun, with non-members encouraged to join. They’re also a wonderful way to connect with your MemberConnect partner and experience PD together in a relaxed, community-focused setting.

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
Smaller, peer-driven convenings organized around shared identity, role, or sector (e.g., Women in STEM, Early Career Leaders, Faith + Business). SIGs provide a space for members to exchange support, resources, and expertise.

CHARITABLE FUND
Community service and volunteer opportunities organized through the PD Charitable Fund. These gatherings allow members to give back together, reinforcing PD’s commitment to making an impact across Milwaukee.
