“Over the course of the last few months, I have found the Leadership 2.0 program to be very enlightening and helpful in my job. As the manager of a department of approximately 35 City employees, it was valuable to hear from people who are proven business and community leaders. Even more valuable was the opportunity to dialogue with my peers in similar positions.”
-Nick Hutchinson, City Engineer, City of Ann Arbor
