Leadership Seminar with Donovan Campbell

Join us Friday, June 7th, 3pm, in the Nimitz Ballroom for the 2013 Leadership Seminar featuring Donovan Campbell and his new publication The Leader's Code. Donovan is a management and technology consultant and bestselling author. A graduate from Princeton University and Harvard Business School, Campbell finished first in his class at the Marines' basic officer course, and served three combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was awarded the Combat Action Ribbon and Bronze Star with Valor. His first book, Joker One, relived those experiences.

The Leader's Code focuses on the development of character as the foundation of the servant-leadership model. Of the book, General Mike Hagee, USMC (Ret) 33rd Commandant of the Marine Corps says, "His key lessons, easily understood and well articulated, are applicable at home, within the community and to professionals in all walks of life. The Leader's Code is an important book for anyone concerned about the leadership crisis in our country and in our communities."

Doors open to the Ballroom at 2:30pm, the program begins at 3pm. General Hagee will join Donovan for a Question & Answer session which will be followed by a book signing opportunity and reception with appetizers and adult beverages. Both Joker One and The Leader's Code will be available for purchase. Tickets are $35.00 per person, or included in Premier Business Partner membership. Call Mrs. Marty Kaderli for more information (830) 997-8600 x204 or
