111th Annual Fall Business Breakfast

About this event

Join us at our biggest business community event of the year for a conversation with higher education leaders about what's changing, what's at stake and what it all means for employers and our region.

Higher Ed at a Crossroads: What's at Stake for Massachusetts Massachusetts runs on brainpower. Our colleges and universities generate more than $70 billion a year and train the workforce our businesses depend on. Now they face fewer students, federal cuts, visa restrictions and AI disruption. What happens on campus won't stay on campus.

Panelists: Fouad Abd-El-Khalick, Provost, UMass Amherst David Podell, President, MassBay Community College Eric Turner, President, Lasell University Additional panelist to be announced Moderator: Hilary Burns, Higher Education Opinion Writer, The Boston Globe

We'll also honor John Fogarty, retiring President & CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital–Needham, with the R.L. Tennant Award, presented annually to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the businesses and communities of Greater Boston's inner western suburbs.
