Connection, Culture, Coffee @ Lasso Coffee and Lager

You’re Invited: High Desert Black Ascent Meetup Connection, Culture, Coffee @ Lasso Coffee and Lager We are thrilled to invite you to the second gathering of the High Desert Black Ascent. This is more than a coffee date; it is the inaugural meeting of "our community" here in Albuquerque. If you’ve been looking for a space where professional empowerment meets cultural depth, your seat is at this table. * When: Saturday, June 6th * Time: 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM * Where: Lasso Coffee and Lager What to Expect: We know your time is valuable, so we’ve designed our first "Brew & View" to be high-impact: * Founding Vibes: Since this is our first-ever meeting we will be discussing the "Why" behind our vision of Empowerment, Agency, and Ascent. * The Substantial Exchange: Skip the surface-level elevator pitches. This is space for the "unspoken shorthand" that comes with decades of experience. Expect deep, focused dialogue with peers who understand our unique perspective in the High Desert. * The Layout: Grab a coffee, find the table with the Ascent sign and join the table. We’ll start with a brief introduction to the group at 9:45 AM, followed by open-forum connection. * Local Grounding: We’ve chosen Lasso for its local flavor and open atmosphere—the perfect backdrop for planning how we collectively impact the Albuquerque landscape. Please RSVP by June 5, 2026 so we can hold space for the circle. *Lift as we climb,* The Leadership Team High Desert Black Ascent
