About this Event
Join FACC for an exclusive full-day experience blending culture, business, and networking.
We'll begin the day with round-trip bus transportation and a visit to the breathtaking Peoria Riverfront Museum, where we'll explore The Promise of Liberty, a landmark exhibition curated by documentarian Ken Burns for America's 250th anniversary. Spanning two major galleries and nearly 250 objects, the exhibition brings together rare American treasures — including Gilbert Stuart's portrait of George Washington, a rare 1858 photograph of Abraham Lincoln taken in Peoria, an original 1776 broadside of the Declaration of Independence, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
From there, we'll enjoy privileged access to Caterpillar - climbing aboard legendary machines, testing the simulators our operators train on, and tracing the story of an American icon born right here.
Throughout the day, you'll have time to connect and spend time directly with FACC board members - an intimate opportunity to build relationships outside the usual boardroom setting.
Lunch, admission fees and all transportation are included.
