Kentucky-Southern Indiana Regional Conference a success!
Louisville Leadership Center and Leadership Southern Indiana join forces to host conference
Round Table Discussion a hit at conference
|
Over sixty leadership professionals gathered in Louisville, Kentucky in October for the Beyond Boundaries: Building Regional Leadership Connections. The welcome reception hosted/sponsored by Leadership Southern Indiana held a unique opportunity for leadership professionals to network and meet each other before the one-day conference began the following day. The workshops were educational and offered the attendees a chance to discuss the best practices available for their leadership programs. Keynote luncheon speaker, Joe Pusateri, was a highlight with both an inspiring and moving presentation. Joe depicts a living example of what a true community leader should be. Many thanks to the Leadership Louisville Center and Leadership Southern Indiana for being great hosts. |
