Upcoming Speakers 2025

The Hood Hargett Breakfast Club is a category exclusive organization of business executives. Our members are focused on working with like-minded professionals to develop meaningful relationships, not transactions.

Our breakfast events featuring nationally known speakers from diverse areas of life allow members to learn and network with other partners and their guests without feeling pressured or solicited. Members find value in solving problems and in creating business opportunities.

As an exclusive, invitation-only community, the Hood Hargett Breakfast Club attracts business professionals who are building success through relationships. Our members understand business is important but without civic or social responsibility, it can be incomplete. Our membership of commercial and not for profits are engaged with our club and our community.
