 FREE Leadership Development I'd like to personally encourage you to make plans to attend our new series of the Chamber's First Friday Leadership featuring John Maxwell's "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" on Friday, March 1st at First National Bank.
Coffee and doughnuts will be available at 7:45am with introductions and networking. The leadership presentation and open discussion will be from 8:00-9:00am. It's absolutely free and no reservations are needed. Effective leadership is not about experience, education, or talent. It's about choosing to grow as a leader. I hope that you will join us for this free, innovative and interactive program. |
