Learn Leadership Lessons from Kristen Hess, CEO of HH Architecture Gain leadership insight from top local executives who build corporations and strengthen communities. What lessons did these leaders discover early in their careers that still hold true today? What drives them to excel and push their goals further? You will be able to apply what they have learned to your own professional development. At each C-Suite Perspectives event, attendees will be inspired by their stories of success.
