Beginning the day on Friday we’ll hear from Dr. Rick Rigsby with his never heard before presentation on Accountability.  As some of you may know Dr. Rigsby is intelligent, funny and brings power to his presentations.  You won’t want to miss his enlightening account of “sustaining accountability through momentum”.
