The Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce’s (SVACC) Professional Women’s Network (PWN) committee will hold a Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, April 30th, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Champs Banquet, 11 E. 3 rd St., Sterling.
Join Le Hartman as she reviews some of Daniel Goleman’s research on Emotional Intelligence and Leadership. In this session she will describe five key components and give participants time to self-reflect and self-evaluate.
Le Hartman has spent her entire career in the world of education starting at Lanark High School after her graduation from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in Family and Consumer Sciences. She holds a Masters in Curriculum Development. Retiring from Eastland School District (Lanark) in 2012, she quickly moved into the WACC-CEO facilitator position in 2013.
She is proud to have been at the ground level as the Sauk Valley introduced CEO to this area and became one of the first classes to join the nationwide initiative. Now, 12 years later, WACC CEO has grown to two classes, accommodating more students. Beyond working with youth, Le enjoys time with her daughters and grandchildren, visiting family in Iowa and traveling with friends.
The cost for the event is $25 for SVACC members and $45 for non-chamber members. This includes training, lunch from El Jacalito, and networking with Sauk Valley area professionals.
