Join us for an energizing networking experience designed to explore leadership through the lens of connection – because sometimes it’s not what you know but who you know.
In this interactive session you will hear reflections on the power of connection from former (LMC Leadership Award-winning!) mayor, Dave Bartholomay. You will engage in meaningful conversations, expand your professional circles, and reflect on how authentic relationships strengthen leadership effectiveness. Together, we’ll uncover the power of connection! Come ready to share, listen, and make connections that inspire your leadership journey.
