Janyne Peek-Emsick

"The Certificate in Executive Leadership allows opportunity for leaders in our community to actively engage with others and grow in their skills and their faith as learn how to lead as Christ did. I wish, earlier in my career, I'd had a training ground like this to help me learn how to be a Christian leader in the marketplace."
