A Warm Evening in the Windy City
Last month, FoundersCard CEO, Eric Kuhn, and COO, Amanda Meador, hosted an evening of dining, connection, and conversation in the windy city.
At one of the top restaurants in Chicago, Tre Dita, 20 members gathered for an unforgettable night. From the first glass poured to the final bite, the night captured everything these dinner series are meant to deliver: a beautiful setting, incredible food, and meaningful conversations among Members.
Check out some highlights from our event. We're hosting more Founders Table Dinners in major cities the rest of the year— be on the lookout for ones in your city soon.
