Keys to Success is Center Works' Monthly queer professional speakers' series held on the last Tuesday of every month from 4:30 to 6pm. This group consists of casual conversation between our community members and our guest speaker, through a Q&A setup style. Our guest speaker is always a queer professional and during this conversation they share the how they overcame challenges to continue to thrive within their industry. This is an open space for queer people to learn more about professions that interest them, network and find a sense of community within these professions being presented to them.

We will have food and metro cards!
