The Spring Business Breakfast is our annual May gathering of 200+ business\, nonprofit\, and civic leaders from across Newton\, Needham\, Watertown\, Wellesley\, Brookline and the broader region.

This year\, we'\;re thrilled to welcome the Wellesley Symphony Orchestra to the morning networking portion &mdash\; setting a vibrant and memorable tone before we move into the program.

Our keynote speaker is Needham High grad Jeff Taylor\, a serial entrepreneur best known as the founder of Monster.com &mdash\; one of the earliest internet companies to transform the job search.

Thirty years later\, Taylor says the system is broken &mdash\; flooded with applications\, driven by keyword matching\, and disconnected from what actually makes a great hire. As founder and CEO of Boomband\, he'\;s building the replacement: an AI-native talent marketplace that ditches the static resume in favor of dynamic "\;Dossiers"\; designed to put human discovery back at the center of hiring.

Pluss\, a panel discussion: \; \;

Strengthening the Safety Net

The path forward for nonprofits and the business community

We&rsquo\;ll also hear from regional nonprofit leaders on how Greater Boston is navigating growing strain on the safety net &mdash\; from funding cuts to inflation and other economic headwinds.

Our panelists:


Coffee and networking will begin in the Sheraton courtyard at 7 a.m. before the formal event begins 8 a.m.
