111th Chamber SWLA Annual Banquet 2015
The 111th Annual Chamber SWLA Banquet will be held Thursday, Jan. 29, at 6 p.m. inside the Golden Nugget Casino Resort in Lake Charles.
Chamber President and CEO George Swift said this year's keynote speaker will be Alison Levine the team captain of the first American women's Everest expedition and author of the New York Times best seller "On The Edge: The Art of High-Impact Leadership."
She is an adjunct instructor at West Point in the Department of Behavioral Science and Leadership and is a strategic advisor for the Thayer Leader Development Group at West Point - which is an executive education program that shares the institution's leadership best practices with senior level-executives from the public and private sectors.
"The Chamber believes Levine will inspire all of us and provide thought provoking ideas that will bolster our leadership as we embark on a historic population and economic growth spurt in the five parish area," Swift said.
Levine is the author of the New York times best-selling book "On the Edge" and contributed to the book "Leadership in Dangerous situations: A Handbook for the Armed Forces, Emergency Services and First Responders."
Away from the academic world, Levine has climbed the highest mountain peak on each continent and skied to both the North and South Poles - which is known as the Adventure Grand Slam - which fewer than forty people in the world have achieved.
Levine has accomplished her goals through three heart surgeries and a neurological disease that causes arteries that feed her fingers and toes to collapse in cold weather leaving her at extreme risk for frostbite.
CITGO is the title sponsor for this year's event. Golden Nugget is the presenting sponsor. Other sponsors are: Flavin Realty, Inc., Stockwell Sievert Law Firm, MidSouth Bank, Hunt, Guillot and Associates and Union Pacific.
