“Leadership Cayman has been an amazing experience. 2016 did not start off in the best way personal for me and being a part of this awesome group of people helped me to get back on track. I have bonded with people whose path I otherwise wouldn’t have crossed and it has opened my eyes to perspectives and viewpoints that I may not ever have turned my mind to. It has been an intensive and rewarding experience all around.???
