Great opportunity for local young professionals!
Who doesn’t love talking about personal finance and conflict resolution? Seriously, though, learning to master these uncomfortable-but-necessary life skills now can pay big dividends later (pun intended).
These presenters are experts on grown-up topics like estate planning, leadership development and resolving conflict in the workplace. They’ll provide valuable insights into personal and career development tactics that can help jumpstart a young professional’s leadership journey.

But it has left an indelible mark on us, and it will forever be a point in time we look back to as a major mile marker in our family.” –Kent Brantly
