Alumni Testimonial
Pattie Mills, Co-owner, J.P. Davenport & Son
“We spend so much time in the weeds every day, planning, or getting payroll done, taking care of the everyday business, that getting an opportunity to step away from that and think on more of a strategic level was a huge part of me wanting to take part of this program.”
