Member Orientations
Whether you're a brand-new member or someone looking for a refresher, our Membership Orientation is your opportunity to explore all that LAMPLighters has to offer! We'll walk through the ins and outs of our organization—who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved.
Learn about our programs, volunteer opportunities, leadership roles, and more in a relaxed, welcoming setting. To keep things fun and social, we’re asking each attendee to bring either an appetizer/dessert or a beverage to share. Mentors are encouraged to attend with their mentees.
Come connect, learn, and get inspired to jump in! Questions? Contact VP/Membership Tina Dumar
Choose from one of two dates to attend! The agendas are the same at each meeting.
