LEADER has also been recognized by the state legislature for its formation of new loan programs where neighbors help neighbors. Our commitment toward the future prosperity of our community is firmly established upon you as a current or aspiring business owner, or relocation candidate. As the current President of LEADER, I welcome you to call or email me to discuss your business needs.
