Leadership Lebanon Valley April Newsletter
A Word from Our Chair

Happy April everyone! I think I speak for many when I say that I'm glad the threat of snow is over for this year! Because of the March snow event, our Health and Human Services Day had to be postponed. But our LLV Board is resilient, and we are already in the planning stages for a rescheduled event in September. Anyone who has gone through the LLV program can attest to the impact that this day has on their overall experience, and we want to be sure they don't miss it. In the meantime, we are gearing up for what looks to be an AMAZING Leadership Day! Jessica has included the details in this newletter - and the time to sign up is NOW! Do you have an employee who is ADA/FMLA? If so, this is the day for you! Seating is limited, so don't wait - it promises to be a great learning opportunity.

Next month, I'll provide an update on this year's LLV class group project - you'll want to mark your calendars for this fundraiser in October that raises scholarship money for future classes - it should be a fun event!
