Description

This event is sold out. Please email Kimi Wilder, Kwilder@gfwinc.com to be notified if additional spots become available.

Join us for a conversation on "Succeeding Legendary Leaders"

Our panel will share about how following a well-regarded legacy leader has created both opportunities and challenges, how that history shapes their leadership approach, and how they're preparing the organization (and the next leader) for long-term success.

Panelists:

  • Moderator: Sarah Strimmenos, President & CEO, Foellinger Foundation
  • Mike Clem, CEO, Sweetwater
  • Mayor Sharon Tucker, Mayor, City of Fort Wayne
  • Adam James, CEO, Design Collaborative

These exclusive events are planned by our Investor Growth & Retention Committee and specifically created for you, our investors who are at the forefront of what we do. Space is intentionally limited to encourage honest, vulnerable, executive-level conversations.

  • Tony Tranquill, Wayne Pipe & Supply
  • Jennifer Vanderpool, Felderman Design Build
  • Matt Booker, American Family Insurance & Zacher Co.
