Mr. James DeBord, YorkCounts James will attend the Leadership Effectiveness Seminar conducted at the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler School of Business. James believes that this seminar will help him better understand "what others are striving to achieve for their sector of the community and then work to encourage them to be leaders with a common purpose for the greater common community good." James will also attend the Green Mountain Writers Conference in Rutland, Vermont, where he looks forward to working with other professional writers and authors. These new relationships will help him "build on his own talents to effectively communicate a more beneficial story to others" as he continues to share YorkCounts' progress over the last four years and its plans for the future. |
