President's Message

Professional Development Month Continues....

Last week (April 22) we heard from our own Rotarian, Debbie Tatum.  Debbie is a Gallup-trained Strengths Coach with 10 years of experience whose greatest passion is using her own top 5 Strengths – Connectedness, Empathy, Input, Individualization and Maximizer – to empower others to effectively use their own innate Strengths.  This week (April 29) we will be hosting another one of our Rotarians Suzy Vance and her colleague Valerie Mrak.  See below for details.
