When I first heard Erik Therwanger speak, I knew I needed to learn more about his programs! Since that time, I've participated in his Leadership Link Program, his 4 part series on leadership and he just led our association's strategic planning program. I can't say enough about the impact his programs have had on me and also our association. I have never had members react to strategic planning the way they did this one. Members in attendance discussed how engaging the program was, and how they felt this was by far the most successful and productive planning event we have had in decades due to his program. It was an A+ for everyone and we believe especially during this challenging time, this program and the plan we developed will help propel our association to the next level.
