Meeting
Recap
The
October luncheon meeting was held at Trader’s Point
Creamery and was a wonderful meeting. The private event
space was fun with an upscale “barn” type of
a feel. Lunch was provided by the Creamery and featured
many of their famous organic milk products – it was
delicious. The topic was Leadership and the speaker was
David DeLoch from Disney’s Magic Kingdom. He discussed
methods of effective leadership and gave us many tips from
Walt Disney himself! His presentation was not only dynamic
but also informative and much was learned by all. Thanks
for making this a great ISES event!
Special
thanks to On 3 Photography for the great pictures.
