This week, Guardian Angels leaders gathered at the beautiful 21st Century Event Center in Rogers for a full day of learning, connection, and growth. The focus? Equipping our managers with the tools to lead with purpose — working with team strengths, navigating generational differences, building trust, and having those important (but sometimes tough) conversations.
We were inspired by two incredible speakers and a powerhouse panel of local leaders who shared their wisdom and experience:
🌟 John Houlton – Chairman of the Board, First Bank Elk River
🌟 Ginger Jungling – Marketing & Events Manager, Elk River Area Chamber of Commerce
🌟 Jessica Barthel – Owner, Zoom Room Dog Training
🌟 Sarah Johnson – Catering Coordinator, Rush Creek Golf Club
Together, the room represented more than 250 years of leadership experience — a powerful testament to the dedication, passion, and expertise that drive Guardian Angels forward every day.
It was a day filled with insight, laughter, and leadership in action — a reminder that when we invest in our people, we strengthen our mission.
