“Leadership on the Shore doesn’t happen on a stage. It happens in the rooms where decisions get made, and these leaders run those rooms,” said Shawna Kearsley, Business Development Partner at Pohanka Commercial Fleet Solutions and host of the forum. “Come ready to hear real stories from people who have done the work.”
The forum runs on one rule: no slides, no fluff, real names and real numbers. The September 9 session drew 85 attendees.
Stop Networking. Start Solving.
