In the fall of 2024, the Lonoke Leadership Lunch series will re-launch with a fresh lineup and exciting announcements. Attendees will be welcomed back to “The Front Porch of the Delta” for a great time of networking and learning together.
The content and speakers will present brief “Ted Talk-style” leadership lessons from their personal experience to a diverse audience of executives, volunteer leaders, decision-makers and elected officials from throughout the region.
