On August 19, 2016, the NextGen Committee hosted a summer networking luncheon at Jenner and Block. The well-attended event had featured 25 TMA members gathering to network with their industry peers and enjoy lunch.

Ron Peterson of Jenner and Block was the featured speaker of the afternoon and provided guests with some insightful thoughts on both the current state of the industry as well as many excellent networking ideas and suggestions for both young and seasoned professionals. A unscheduled bonus included a spectacular view of the Air Force Thunderbirds practicing for the Chicago Air and Water Show from the Jenner Conference Room.

The NextGen looks forward to seeing more members at the rest of the events throughout the year.
