Building Butler: A Community Leadership Series
In partnership with the Butler AM Rotary Club
New for 2026, Building Butler is a monthly community leadership series designed to spotlight the people and stories driving Butler County forward. Held on the second Tuesday of each month, this free morning event invites community leaders, entrepreneurs, and business executives to go beyond talking about their organizations and instead share their personal leadership journey, lessons learned, and the role they play in keeping our community vibrant and moving forward.
Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with new people, hear directly from those making a difference locally, and experience the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.” A hot breakfast will be provided, and the event is free to attend.
