SUMMARY:The CEO Corner: Harnessing the Power of Money
DESCRIPTION:They say money is power\, and in the world of a CEO\, this is certainly the case. Money is the means to your success and often how it is measured. Money is not powerful in and of itself.

Ultimately\, as a CEO\, it’s your job to make money work for you\, because the decisions you make about money each and every day have significant implications for your business\, your people\, and your personal life. Join us for a morning of information.
