Leadership in Action!

We are honored to have Senator Larry Walker as our guest speaker for July 17, 2023.

Senator Walker emphasized the importance of collaboration, empathy, and integrity. "Integrity is the foundation of our leadership. Our actions must always align with our values and principles. Let us lead with honesty, transparency, and accountability. Our commitment to doing the right thing, even when it's difficult, will earn us the trust and respect of those we serve. As we navigate challenges and celebrate victories, let us always remember our purpose - the reason why we do what we do. Our vision is not only to achieve success, but also to create a better future for ourselves, our community, and the world", Sen. Larry Walker.

Thank you Senator Walker for the inspirational message of leadership and service.
Service above self. He profits most who serves best!
