Groundwork Free Leadership Event
Join us in Salem for a powerful leadership gathering and community book launch celebrating Beneath the Transaction.
Over the past decade, Salem became the living laboratory for what would become this life and leadership book—shaped by real leaders, real struggle, and real transformation. This evening is both a celebration and an invitation to live and lead with deeper purpose in our organizations, our families, and our city.
You’ll experience:
• A keynote from Chris Pineda
• Stories from local leaders featured in the book
• Cross-sector connection and team reflection
• A community moment centered on purpose and transformation
