“I graduated from the Leadership Program in 2007 and felt the program offered great insight into Indian River County on a very broad scope. Learning as much as I did helped inspire me to open my own business and give back to the community. I encourage anyone that is part of the community to take the class, you will absolutely learn and grow from everything you learn. An added bonus was some long-term friendships and business relationships that resulted as part of my participation in the class. Overall amazing experience!” -Jackie Savell, Trusted Insurance Professionals LLC
