The EPIC Impact Society will present a conversation with Author Dennis Baker, 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10 at The Well, 1505 East Valley Road, Montecito.

The event will focus on the release of Baker’s new book “Building Your Board of Directors for Life” (Post Hill Press/Simon & Schuster), which offers a practical guide to cultivating a trusted group of mentors and advisors to support personal and professional growth.

Co-sponsored by The Well and the EPIC Impact Society, a nonprofit committed to being “a creative force for positive change in the world,” the gathering will feature a live conversation between Baker and EPIC president Steve Ralph.

Ralph will interview Baker about the inspiration behind the book and how its principles apply to leadership, mentorship, and living with purpose.

“It’s a practical guide to curating a group of personal stakeholders in your life to help you become your best self,” event organizers said.

“We all need a team of truth-tellers, encouragers, and wise guides,” said Baker. “This book — and this event — is about helping people build that circle of support intentionally, just like a CEO would.”

Light refreshments will be served, and signed advance copies of “Building Your Board of Directors for Life” will be available for purchase.

The EPIC Impact Society was founded in 2018, following the success of the 2019 EPIC International Summit. Based on the acronym EPIC — Experiential Learning, Pause, Ingenuity, and Community Engagement — the organization fosters transformational ideas through events, storytelling and action.
