T
he Walton Area Chamber of Commerce held their Power of Business Lunch
sponsored by Northwest Florida State College at the WaterColor Lake House
on September 12. Attendees had the opportunity to hear Dr. Devin Stevenson,
President of NWFL State College, who spoke on the impact NWF State College
is making in our local community, the state of affairs, and growth at NWFLSC and things to
expect in the near future.
Dr. Stephenson also called everyone in attendance “a leader in their own right” and gave
his audience what he called the 4 attitudes of a growing leader who wants to be successful:
Confi dence, compassion, curiosity and decisiveness, and celebration of achievement. He urged
everyone to not be afraid to celebrate after an achievement or a win. He said, “ No matter
how big or small the win is, it’s ok as long as it fuels you or your organization to reach the next
milestone.”
The CEO of the Walton Area Chamber thanked everyone for attending and assured them
their time attending the luncheon was worthwhile and benefi cial to them individually and as an
organization. The Power of Business Luncheon provides an excellent opportunity for attendees
to showcase their business, promote products, network, and let others know how their business
need can be met, all while enjoying some delicious food and a spectacular speaker.
