Jefferson Leadership & Business Symposium to be Held on March 18, 2020

The Jefferson Leadership & Business Symposium (JLBS) will be held on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Jefferson Community College (JCC) in Sturtz Theater. Business professionals, aspiring college students, developing high school leaders and community members are welcome to attend! The focus of this year’s event is to educate, inspire and connect.
Delivering the keynote address is author, entrepreneur and motivational speaker, Eric Mina. Mina will share his inspirational story of how he conquered severe ADHD and went from spending his time at school in the principal’s office to earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Drawing from personal experience, his presentation is packed with business tactics designed to empower aspiring leaders and business minded students.
In addition to a keynote speaker, JLBS will feature opportunities for attendees to engage with local businesses and learn about the North Country job market – available jobs, breadth of positions within the business sector, how to prepare for a job search, do’s and don’ts of social media and more. A perk for college students, they will have the opportunity to learn about local paid and unpaid internships! Furthermore, a performance by speed painter, Tom Varano, will take place. Combining motivational speaking with paint and music, Varano inspires audience members with his ability to create suspense, anticipation and surprise.
