“The program helped me in numerous ways in terms of my leadership confidence and skill set. While there were many benefits from doing this course that I have been using in my daily work, I will say that one that has stuck out has been the idea of creating member delight (the specific steps) when doing events or classes and not just hoping to provide member satisfaction.”

“I learned so much! The most impactful inofrmation for me was regarding leadership and how to manage our team, communicate effectively and be a good leader.
