Leader Comments: “It
has been a privilege to be a part of the Rising Leaders program.
It’s important to take a step out of the daily grind to
study new strategies to make myself a better manager.
I would recommend the program for both the curriculum and the
networking we do within the group.”
Participants
in the Rising Leaders Institute are required to have a champion from
their company, a manager who acts as their mentor throughout the
program. Downs’ mentor
is John Igel, president of George J. Igel & Co., Inc.
