2008 Leadership Symposium

Invest a day--profit for a lifetime by attending the 5^th Annual Raymond E. Mason, Jr. Leadership Symposium, Thursday, April 24 from 8:00am – 4:00pm at the Columbus Convention Center.

This "Day of Leadership" is offered annually through the Leadership Center at Franklin University and this year will feature Judith Bardwick, bestselling author, management consultant, and respected psychologist. Her recently released book, One Foot Out the Door has received great reviews and many believe it will be the best leadership book of 2008.

The Symposium will also include a luncheon speaker, special presentation on reaching the higher levels of leadership, and break-out sessions where you can choose from among a dozen of central Ohio’s most renowned leaders in a small group setting. The day will end with a special session led by Columbus Bar Leadership on how you can take what you have experienced back to work and apply it in your own unique environment.

As a Participating Sponsor, Columbus Bar Association members can attend the Symposium at a special rate of $225 which includes all sessions, continental breakfast, and lunch. Firms may also take advantage of the Columbus Bar/Franklin University partnership with an even deeper discount for teams of 5 or more -- only $200 per participant.
