This is SIMSOC season and I am blogging from Robert, LA where I am coordinating a session with Leadership Greater Baton Rouge. Willie Johnson is their program coordinator, and she is a very special person. Willie has retired from the Baton Rouge Chamber, but coordinates the Leadership Program. She has quietly impacted the community in profound ways.

Willie told me this morning that this will be her last year to "work". So she is making her farewell tour with Leadership.

Willie Johnson has directly impacted more than a 1000 graduates of Leadership Baton Rouge. Those graduates have impacted the community. That's making a difference, and I am honored to know Willie.
