Athens State Hosting Panel Discussion on Leadership Skills in Changing Times

ATHENS, ALA. - Athens State University’s Center for Lifelong Learning and Coleman Center for Religious Studies and Ethics will present a forum entitled Shooting the Rapids: Leading in a time of change. The forum will be held on Tuesday, April 29 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at the Center for Lifelong Learning located at 122 S. Marion Street in downtown Athens. There is a $25 charge for admission.

The forum will address how to lead in a fast-moving and constantly changing environment. It will explain how providing leadership during such times is similar to learning to shoot the rapids by navigating shifting obstacles and barriers.

Guest panelists include Retired Redstone Arsenal Lt. General James Pillsbury, United Way Executive Director Kaye Young McFarland, Athens State President Bob Glenn, and Limestone County Economic Development Association Executive Director Tom Hill.

“Leadership is a skill best learned by example,” states Center for Lifelong Learning Director Dr. Diane Sauers. “I believe we have, for this forum panel, pulled together a great team that exemplifies the most important traits to help all of us lead.”
