GHAR Members Complete the C2EX Program
Congratulations to Nathan Przysiecki!

Nathan's comments about the C2EX program:
I heard about the program through GHAR's orientation program. I saw benefit in learning more about a business I have always had passion for and challenge to learn.
In my experience, each individual brings to the table the knowledge they have gained through opportunities like this, the relationships they have made along the way, and by challenging themselves to grow. The program overall was very well done, and I enjoyed the experience. There were also some areas that required greater time commitment on my part since I was learning new material but overall I liked that challenge. 

Complete the program and enter to win $100!
Our August C2EX completion drawing winner is Joanne Breen!
