The keynote speakers are Kimberly Ventus-Darks, President of Ventus-Darks Communications, who will explain why “You Have to be Outrageous to be Spectacular,” and Patti Holmes, President of Holmes Training Development, who will talk on “The Spirit of Leadership.”

In addition, there will be focused workshops and breakout sessions on a variety of topics related to personal and professional development.
