Hi ILEA Fam!
I hope you're taking well-deserved time off or staying cozy as we ease into the San Francisco “Fog-ust”. I’ve been spending the month easing into this role with our new board.
Last week, we gathered for our annual kick-off retreat to plan the year ahead. If you have any ideas, wants (or even criticism!) we’re open ears and want to know all about it. We'll be announcing our calendar of events soon!
Then, I'll be on the road and meeting with our ILEA international peers at the BUILD conference in Boston! I can’t wait to come back inspired and see how this enthusiasm can turn into action.
Follow us on Instagram, I’ll be sure to take you along for the ride!

ILEA-NCC President

Huge thanks to Gold Bar Whiskey for hosting, and to everyone who joined us—we loved seeing your creativity (and cocktail skills) shine.
Our July member-exclusive at Gold Bar Whiskey was the definition of cool.
✨ Guests enjoyed a hands-on mixology class, curated whiskey tastings, and jaw-dropping views of the Bay
🎶 With vintage vibes, curated cocktails, and new connections, this mixer was a vibe
