President's Message

Our 33rd Leadership Lewisville class is graduating this month so I've had "leadership" on my mind. I ran across an article that this past week that talks about three essential leadership principles from the Revolutionary War that still apply today. If you're interested, check out this link for the article: http://bit.ly/RevolutionaryWarLeadership. I think you'll enjoy it. I hope you will join us on Tuesday, May 28, for our Leadership Lewisville class graduation. They will showcase their class project that day, too - you'll be impressed! Be sure and look through the rest of this email and follow u s on  Facebook  for up-to-the-minute information on all the great things happening here!!   I hope to see you often! We are, as always, better (and stronger) together !!    Lori Fickling , IOM President/CEO Lewisville Area Chamber of Commerce
