HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Chamber is helping to host a Leadercast site on May 4 in the Salt City.
"It's actually the world's largest single day leadership event, simulcast and streamed all over the world in multiple countries," said Marcy Kauffman with the Chamber. "Thanks to Horizons Mental Health services it is streamed right here in Hutchinson. The Chamber is here to support them and help bring in a few people to attend, because they have the license."
Cost for the event is $79 through April 22 and then $89 after that.
"LeVar Burton is an actor, director and children's television host, Angela Duckworth is author and founder of Character Lab, Diane Trujillo is an aerospace engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, Richard Rohr is the founder at the Center for Action and Contemplation, Molly Fletcher, best selling author, CEO, and Sports Agent," Kauffman said. "Doctors, scientists, athletes, actors, they just have a little bit of everything."
The theme for this year's event is: What is the one thing that makes a leader worth following?
"If attendees just take a snippet or two from what a few of them say and apply it in their life and their world, they can just work on becoming better leaders themselves," Kauffman said.
The event will take place live on the same day as the national Leadercast event in Newport, Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio.
