After the trade show, West CEO students have kept their focus throughout an Inspired Speakers Series. While our posted photos look the same...same classroom, same chairs, etc., the speakers have been inspiring. Today, we wrapped things up with Scott Hibbard sharing his views on leadership and business. A huge thank you to all the speakers: Kim Purvis, Kim Gaffey, Hasen Lott, Sandi Baylor-Schmidt, Daniel Swihart, Dawn Olds, Rebecca Munoz-Ripley, and Scott HIbbard. And just to add variety, here's our annual end-of-year selfies, happy and silly!
