“I was new to town. City Club was a great resource to understand the issues in our community and build a network.”
Jessica Biel, Director of Business Development, Pinnacle Architecture“City Club provides a platform that allows our great community to come together and draw strength from diversity.

Through these conversations, we can work together toward the continued success of this place I love!”
Peter Grube, partner, Dream Home Building and Design“Let me tell you a little something about us [City Club]. We don’t agree on everything. We disagree on everything and that is our strength. The one thing we do agree on is civility and we agree on having the conversation and keeping the conversation going.”
Bill Buchanan, partner, Buchanan Schmid, llc“What is most important to me about City Club is that not everyone agrees on issues. Their role, their goal is to bring people together and have the conversation and problem solve.”
