LOOKS WHO'S GRADUATED FROM THIS GREAT PROGRAM: Leadership Alumni.
Leadership is for those new to our city: The salesperson, the new business owner, the budding entrepreneur.
Leadership is for those who have lived or worked in this city for a long time.
We can become creatures of habit and rarely travel out of our comfort zones.
Leadership is about stretching those boundaries and creating new opportunities.
Leadership is about you!
