Target of attempted murder now in Leadership Brentwood, and more
My birthday isn’t for another month, but I felt old, really old, last week at the Class of 2012 Leadership Brentwood kickoff reception. If it wasn’t for the wine and beer bar, I would have sworn I had walked into a Youth Leadership Brentwood event.
I stood with my mouth open as class member after class member was introduced. Yes, a handful may have hit 40, even 50, but most looked like they were 17. What’s more, their resumes left me feeling like I had a great big L on my forehead – and I don’t think I was the only one who felt that way.
Read the bios for yourself in our Business section. But today I’d like to share “the rest of the story.” Each year the LBW application asks candidates to list an “interesting fact” about themselves. If I didn’t know a lot of these people myself, I would believe most of the facts were made up. But liars shouldn’t be leaders, right?
