Beer with a Boss — the Chamber’s newest YP series — is back on Thursday, Oct. 30 from 4–5 PM at 7 Hills Brewing Co.

Pull up a chair, grab a pint, and join us for an open, laid-back conversation with some of our community’s most inspiring leaders. Beer with a Boss is your chance to hear real success stories, lessons learned, and honest reflections on the challenges along the way — all in a casual, approachable setting. Whether you’re seeking career advice, inspiration, or just a great conversation, this series is designed to connect young professionals with seasoned leaders who’ve been where you are and can help guide where you’re going.

Our next featured boss is Dr. Lynn “Tut” Fuller, founder and CEO of Capra Bank. Tut launched Capra in 2022 and quickly turned it into the fastest-growing bank in the U.S., skyrocketing from $50 million to more than $850 million in assets in just two years. A fourth-generation banker, he previously served as a senior leader at HTLF, where he oversaw about $10 billion in assets and led major turnarounds and acquisitions before striking out on his own.

Tut believes that “banking is a team sport” — and that empowering people, investing in top-tier technology, and building strong local relationships are the keys to helping communities thrive. He holds a B.A. from the University of St. Thomas and both an M.D. and an MBA from the University of Michigan. Tut lives in Dubuque with his wife, Alli, and their three children — and when he’s not leading one of the Midwest’s most innovative banks, you’ll likely find him exploring the great outdoors.

A huge thank-you to 7 Hills Brewing Co. for sponsoring this event and supporting our Young Professionals community!
