Alumni comments re: SINGLE GREATEST IMPACT FROM the EXPERIENCE:

• Networking and expanding my contacts and knowledge of Fort Worth.
• My own personal development was extraordinary! Through this program, I am now an external vs. internal facing executive!
• Increased awareness of platforms that helped me to narrow my focus and passion and put together a plan of action for the future.
• Learning about Fort Worth. The tours, the meetings in different places forced me to get out of my own backyard.
