The Second Circle: Dallas Networking Happy Hour

This August, join a group of fellow directors and VPs, as well as forward-thinking executives, for a fun happy hour in Dallas. Together, we’ll celebrate the value of investing in the “second circle” — the directors and VPs who turn strategy into action and culture into results.

Hosted by The Second Circle Institute, a leadership accelerator and professional network built specifically for these critical yet often overlooked roles.

No panels. No pitches. Just real conversation, new connections, and fresh thinking on how (and why) to elevate the leaders who keep businesses moving forward.
