2022 Connect and Learn – “Joy for the Journey”
Marlene Ward
In 2022, our keynote speaker for the Connect and Learn event was Marlene Ward. some “gifts and graces” that she wasn’t aware were hers. She admits that while she is neither a visionary nor an “imaginer,” she is a good organizer, and that is her strong point. She knows how to move the “pieces” around to make them fit. On the other hand, she knows that she is not a good proofreader, so she asks others for help in doing that. If you accept a leadership role, you do not have to be a one-woman band. If you would like to review Marlene Ward’s Presentation, it is available here.
