Info on Leadership Summit I'm attending today

I took 2 vacation days today and tomorrow to attend the Global Leadership Summit and will be blogging here (henrywill4.com) and tweeting on Twitter (twitter.com/henrywill). You don't need an account to follow either one of these.

I have attended the past few years (and will be attending again this year) at one of the many satellite locations: the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association in Ocean Grove NJ. More than 300 people are registered at this location.
