2025 Annual Meeting & Reception 

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Connecticut’s largest networking event of the year brings together business leaders from every industry and corner of the state.

CBIA’s Annual Meeting & Reception is not only a gathering—it’s a celebration of Connecticut’s vibrant business community, made up of resilient and innovative leaders.

This year’s event features two business leaders who now call the Nutmeg State home: Ryan Leaf and Anna Kleinsorge are a powerhouse duo whose journey spans sports, business, media, and advocacy.

Leaf is a former NFL quarterback and nationally recognized sports analyst and mental health advocate.

In addition to serving as CEO of RAM Consultant, he hosts a daily show on SiriusXM NFL Radio, serves as a lead analyst for CW Sports and Westwood One, and is a passionate voice for criminal justice reform and recovery.

Kleinsorge is Leaf’s wife and RAM Consultant’s COO, head of production, and creative and strategic force behind the company’s growth.

With a background in entertainment and real estate, she brings a unique blend of business acumen and storytelling.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded leaders, celebrate achievements, and learn from two remarkable people.

Register early for a chance to win tickets to HAMILTON at The Bushnell in November.
