September 19, 2019 – 22 Rotarians were present to hear Chris Berleth of Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce and Leadership Susquehanna Valley. Chris educated the Rotarian’s about LSV, its mission and community impact. LSV was started in 1994 after a group of local business people seemed to be the only group volunteering with non-profits. The group felt a need to organize a leadership plan and to educate, build and establish new leaders. LSV is an educational program, professional development training and networking tool for many new and current business leaders. LSV focuses on strengthening leader’s skills as well as helping leaders recognize their own strengths.
