Lunch & Lead

About Lunch & Lead

The University of Idaho Boise’s Lunch & Lead program is an informal lecture series designed for on-the-go executives, managers, business owners, and interested citizens. The University provides the speakers and refreshments and participants are encouraged to bring a bag lunch to enjoy during the lunchtime event. Each year has a theme and past events are recorded on video. See a past topic that interests you? See an upcoming event you cannot attend? All events are recorded, and along with any presentation slides, are available through the links to the left.

2012 Theme: Healthy Idaho. This year’s theme aligns with the University’s participation in the state’s Healthy Eating, Active Living program and utilizes the University of Idaho’s dietetics program and Extension expertise.

2011 Theme: Kaleidoscope Thinking. Just as a kaleidoscope gives you a new picture every time you give it a shake, innovation can be the result of looking at the same things in a different way. Series speakers presented different ways of thinking in organizations ranging from a high tech company to non-profits to small businesses.

2010 Theme: Sustainable Business Practices. This series focuses on sustaining organizational health—from shareholder relationships, to energy conservation, to workforce environment. How can the best elements of your organization be sustained?
