Baby, its’ “chili” outside – at least for the participants of the North Chamber 2012 Leadership Lab “best class, ever.” It was a slightly chili day, Wednesday, October 10, when Lab participants gathered at Rio Cibolo Ranch for team building, entertainment and a good old fashioned chili cook off. The event soon concludes a nine-month award winning leadership series focusing on self-discovery, inspiration and success.

Criteria for the Chili Challenge involved the teams’ ability to study the elements of the product’s marketing mix, strategy, pricing, advertising and promotion using case studies. The end resulting in discovering personal branding and capitalizing on using the brand created to increase the circle of influence.

Judges for the competition included Leadership Lab alumni and supporters Maria Barrett of Padgett, Stratemann & Company; Marty Williams, Westin La Cantera; and Darryl Cook, Preferred Landscape and Design.

With over 52 companies represented, the North Chamber’s 2012 Leadership Lab will graduate 78 professionals. San Antonio’s up-and-coming business leaders from the corporate, non-profit and small business environments will graduate on Friday, November 30, 2012 at Oak Hills Country Club.

Dahill is proud to sponsor the series and we congratulate our own Leticia Vasquez, Joe Ramirez and Steve Flores for their participation in Lab 2012. They demonstrate strength in leadership, the ability to turn strategy into reality and the tenacity to communicate with power and purpose. Dahill – Proven Leadership. Powerful Results.
