The “Celebrating Our Community” event on April 25, 2024 gave Leadership Council SMC the opportunity to thank the many people who have contributed to our success. Over a hundred attendees joined us for a light dinner in the glorious setting of the Carolands Chateau.
The evening’s agenda was light, allowing time for guests to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. During the evening’s program, Co-Presidents Kaarin Hardy and Margi Power welcomed and thanked Leadership Council SMC’s board and advisory council members, Immersion Program current participants, alumni, and speakers, community and city partners, sponsors, and donors. “At our monthly Learning Days, we are impressed by the leaders in the class,” said Kaarin. “As I see all of you celebrating with us, I am again humbled by the amazing group of leaders who have consistently supported Leadership Council SMC. We appreciate each one of you.”
Kaarin and Margi specifically honored David Mendell, a Founding Board Member, for his significant commitment, engagement, and service to Leadership Council SMC. David will be leaving the board on June 30, 2024.
Alumni were invited to reflect on their experiences in the Emerging Leaders or Leadership CORPS programs, by adding comments to posters situated around the venue. During the evening’s program, the Alumni Advisory Council shared their plans for outreach and the launch of the Leadership Council SMC Alumni Group on LinkedIn. Any Leadership Council SMC Immersion Program alumni interested in joining the Alumni Advisory Council were encouraged to email info@leadershipcouncilsmc.org for more information.
The evening was filled with fun conversation, good food, and laughter, making it an evening to remember.
