Participants can also look forward to roundtable discussions, interactive activities, a keynote speaker, raffle prizes, community vendors, and more. This education initiative is made possible thanks to our Proud Sponsors at Regions Bank and supporting partners from Pasco-Hernando State College, Chick-fil-A, and Rookies Family Grille & Bar.
