As a business owner, participating in continued training, learning and engaging with the best leaders will help me grow.

For the past few months, I’ve been participating in the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce Community Leadership Institute (CLI), as a member of the Class of 2025.

In addition to developing strong relationships with my fellow classmates and making lots of new friends, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from–and connect with–so many amazing people who are making a difference in our community.

And we are just getting started!

Many thanks to Donna Hodge, Ph.D., Kory Eng, LeaAnn Scales, Kat Deal and the many others who have taken time out of their busy schedules to spend time with our class and share their insights; to Prof. Michael T. Greenwood, Ph.D., for his challenging questions to make us “think;” and to Maureen Babcock, for coordinating such great programming.

Excited for what’s to come in 2025!
