Leadership Brownsville aims to cultivate and educate community members of our great city.
To celebrate the organization's 39th Anniversary, we are hosting Ignite!: A Leadership Symposium on May 1st, 2024, at the Texas Southmost College Performing Arts Center.
We are pleased to have a returning speaker from the inaugural year, Carmine Gallo, a Wall Street Journal Best-Selling author and Harvard professor who will focus on how communication is key to leadership. Nicole Noren is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist. She will speak about overcoming obstacles, resilience, and how to speak up for yourself. Our third speaker is Daniel Marcos, co-founder of Growth Institute. His expertise is in scaling and will be specifically addressing the non-profit sector. Lastly, we have Jeff Davidson, a financial advisor and Co-founder of Camp Gladiator - the fastest-growing fitness craze in the US, who will speak to entrepreneurship and leading without a road map.
We are so excited to bring back this event to Brownsville and the RGV. This would not be possible without the help and support of generous sponsors who believe in Brownsville and want to see our community rise to the next level.
