LIFT Symposium | Session One - Columbus Business First (bizjournals.com)

Last summer it was difficult to imagine what we could do to keep our families safe, continue to be employed, keep food on the table, keep a roof over our heads and keep our businesses going.  Some organizations were not only able to accomplish that, but also to plan for the future. During the LIFT events on July 15 and July 22, you will hear about experiences—some similar and some different from our own—of what people have learned and how it has impacted their lives, plans, how they work with others, and how they are working today and planning for tomorrow.
