Three executives of major companies who happen to live in Darien are speaking as part of a monthly series organized by the Darien Community Association.

The “Darien Neighbors, Global Players” series takes place once a month on Tuesday evenings in March, April and May, and tickets are now on sale.

From the DCA announcement:

This series will spotlight some of our very own local residents. You may know them as friends or neighbors — but they are also some of the most successful leaders and innovators in their respective fields.

They will discuss issues and trends in their industry, share insights about their company, and what they have learned in their business careers.

Ticket prices include a reception with wine from JetBlue’s Mint premium travel experience, which features some of America’s best boutique wines. Attendees will have the opportunity to win special items to benefit the nonprofit mission of the DCA.
