FIA has 9 luncheons per year. These luncheons typically fall on the second Thursday of the month except July and December where we do not have a luncheon and October where we have the Fairfax Festival instead of a luncheon.
Luncheons are usually held at a business in the Fairfax District. We have a variety of speakers, all of whom are industry leaders within the greater Kansas City area, covering a broad mix of topics. Attendance averages 80 at each luncheon.
Some speaker highlights included:
If you are not a member and would like to check out the FIA, please join us! Guests are allowed to attend 3 luncheons before joining.

With donor support, Giving the Basics provides the necessities of life, not covered by government assistance programs, that most people take for granted such as laundry soap, shampoo, deodorant, toilet paper and other personal care hygiene products.
Teresa Hamilton, Executive Director of Giving the Basics, will provide insight into this wonderful organization and provide a guided tour. This will also serve as an official kick-off for a collaborative donation drive in the Fairfax district.
