Special guest speaker Dr. Theresa Larson, Founder of Movement Rx, a Marine Veteran, and nationally recognized advocate for fostering healthy cultures in corporate America, will lead a captivating discussion based on her extraordinary insights on bridging the gap between employee culture and Regional leadership. She will provide strategies to increase productivity and build a thriving workplace environment that helps employees stay motivated, both in and out of the workplace.
