Overview

Leadership Perspectives is an opportunity for non-competing business persons that are at the same level of management and have similar business challenges, goals and visions, to communicate with one another on a regular basis. Leadership Perspectives is not a networking group, but rather a forum for the sharing of viewpoints and ideas that will provide valuable insight for each member to use in making impactful business decisions. Additionally, Leadership Perspectives provides a structure for each of its members to engage in thought-provoking discussion and challenging conversation covering a myriad of business topics including, but not limited to: increasing sales, solving business challenges, and leading more effectively. Outside speakers and specialists in selected professional areas are frequently included on the agenda.

 

Monthly Meetings

Meetings are conducted once a month, beginning promptly at 8:00 a.m. and ending promptly at 10:00 a.m. The maximum amount of business owners per group is ten.
