Town Hall
“An Invitation to Lead”
August 12, 2014
4-6 p.m.
President Valerie Montgomery Rice cordially invites you to attend the first quarterly
town hall meeting. In highly successful organizations, leadership is shared. One
person doesn’t lead alone. For MSM to reach a new level of greatness, each of us must
be empowered to lead and think big. That process begins now. Be heard and help lead.
Join us in the NCPC Auditorium or at one of the satellite locations: Buggy Works,
Morehouse Healthcare and Piedmont Hall.
