entertainment. September 16 features Marcus Buckingham giving a keynote talk on “Lead With Strengths.” Feel free to share with your members that Marcus will do a book signing after his talk for his newest book. There will also be a table where people can learn about and, I believe, sign up for a Strengths Coach Certification Program that TMBC is offering this fall. We are investigating the feasibility of live streaming the September meeting. I will let you know the details if we decide to move forward with that. Of course, live streaming won’t have the same level of excitement, the book signing, or the opportunity to check out the certification program. Go to our website and click the Events tab near the top of the page. Click “Chapter Meeting” to see the program description for August and to register.
