EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Excelling when a situation demands an immediate leader
Solid leadership is always needed, especially in extreme situations, be it in a single moment, over the course of several days - or even plotting out a plan for success over several years. The Chamber asked vice president of client relations for BIG YAM, Nancy Padberg, and 2015 ATHENAs Leah Fregulia and Melissa Sanderson to share a time they had leadership unexpectedly demanded of - or thrust upon - them.

Co-authors are keys to creating a brilliant life story
Lin Sue Cooney, director of community engagement for Hospice of the Valley and former 12 News anchor, shared her inspirational story during the May 3 Professional Women's Alliance luncheon. Cooney shared her journey from meager beginnings in Taiwan, through an award-winning broadcast career and to the decisions that led her to join Hospice of the Valley.

CEO and president of KEO Marketing Sheila Kloefkorn shares some ways to attract and manage a multi-generational workforce.
