🍸 The members made it a night to remember.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's STAC Members Only event. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces, make new connections and celebrate everything that makes the STAC community so special.

One of the highlights of the evening was welcoming so many prospective members who experienced STAC firsthand. Seeing them discover the value of our community -the relationships, networking and opportunities that come with membership - made the night even more rewarding.

Check out the photos from a memorable evening at Lyra,and thank you to everyone who helped make it such a success! https://www.stachicago.org/gallery/ViewAlbum.aspx?album=37473675&p=0
