📰 THE TEN WHO SAID YES.
Yesterday, the inaugural class of Royse City Tri-County Leadership officially kicked off their journey with a full day of team building with Leadership On The Move!
And what a way to start.
These ten aren't learning how to become leaders. They already are leaders in our businesses, organizations, schools and community.
This program is about what happens when you bring strong leaders together, get them outside their normal circles, challenge them to work as a team, build real relationships and start asking:
What can WE do together to build a stronger Royse City?
Meet The Ten Who Said YES:
⭐ Amy Anderson - Royse City ISD Superintendent
⭐ Daniel Britt - Chiropractic Physician with Orthopaedic Specialists of Dallas
⭐ Tanner Dietz - Royse City Fire Department Fire Chief
⭐ Kimberly Harryman - Celebree School of Fate Assistant Director
⭐ Suzanne Ivy - Ivy Air Owner
⭐ Doug Knotsman - Chick-fil-A Royse City Owner
⭐ Rachel Kronke - Royse City Emergency Hospital Chief of Nursing Officer
⭐ James Phillips - DRC Construction Project Manager
⭐ Shannon Raymond - City of Royse City Assistant City Manager
⭐ Tim Slay - Guaranty Bank & Trust - Commercial Lender/Relationship Manager
Yesterday was about teamwork, trust, communication, a whole lot of laughter and the beginning of relationships that will carry this group through the months ahead.
But more than anything, yesterday was Day One.
They said yes to showing up.
They said yes to serving.
They said yes to working together.
They said yes to building something that will last.
Ten leaders. One inaugural class. And one heck of a first chapter. ❤️
Just wait until you see what these ten do together.
