Live Learn Lead Engages Leadership Sandy Springs Members

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- The keynote speaker at the third annual Live Learn Lead seminar hosted by Leadership Sandy Springs did not disappoint those in the audience.

Lee Fisher, president and CEO of CEOs for Cities, provided a humorous, yet enlightening, presentation on the secrets of what makes one's city a better and richer place.

The third annual event was held Feb. 9.

From connecting with millenials to fostering trust in the community, Fisher provided inspiration and data showing the opportunity cost and encouraging dividends when particular investments are made in the community.

His presentation illustrated CEOs for Cities’ signature work: gathering people who want to improve their cities around the same table and challenging them to make timely, meaningful progress. Prior to his leadership at CEOs for Cities, Fisher served as Ohio’s lieutenant governor, attorney general, state senator and state representative.

He currently serves as the interim dean of Cleveland Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University, and is a member of the Group Plan Commission focused on the transformation of downtown Cleveland.

A signature event of Leadership Sandy Springs, Live Learn Lead is a community-wide speaker event designed to spark passion to build a strong, more resilient Sandy Springs and central Perimeter area.

“Lee was such an engaging speaker that the bar keeps getting raised higher and higher," said Pam Rosenthal, president of LSS’ Board of Trustees.
