Lake Leadership Summit sells out; waiting list established
LUCERNE, Calif. – The Lake County Regional Economic Development Committee announced that the Lake Leadership Summit scheduled for Friday, Oct. 10, at Marymount California University’s Lakeside campus is sold out.
An event waiting list is available at www.embracethelake.com ; individuals who submit their names through the Web site will be contacted should an opening occur.
The summit is designed for local business leaders, owners, and entrepreneurs who are interested in developing their business and in growing Lake County.
The event is limited to 100 participants and the sell-out is welcome news to committee organizers.
“There’s always some concern about ticket sales when a new event launches in Lake County. We’re pleased that our community embraced the Lake Leadership Summit with such enthusiasm. We’re creating a waiting list now for people who would like to participate in the event of last-minute cancellations,” said Wilda Shock, summit co-creator and economic development specialist for the city of Lakeport.
The summit features presenters from the state of Washington state and from the Bay Area who will speak about technology, customer service and economic development.
Optional activities designed to encourage summit participants to see Lake County with fresh eyes include a haunted walking tour of Lakeport, a “Pirate BootyCycle” tour of Kelseyville and a Lake County scavenger hunt by bus.
These activities are offered on the afternoon of the summit and are available for an additional fee to summit participants.
“We’ve been working on the summit for about a year now, refining the format, ensuring that we offer salient information along with some aspirational stories about what Lake County can become in the future,” said Alan Flora, deputy administrator for the county of Lake and summit.
