Habeeb Keynote Speaker at Chamber Employee Appreciation Luncheon

Habeeb Habeeb will be the keynote speaker at the 42nd Annual Employee Appreciation Luncheon sponsored by the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce. The event will be held on Friday, April 1st at the Thelma Keller Convention Center from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. 

Habeeb is the CEO of BPC, Inc. and founder of H-Squared Leadership Institute. His topic will be “The Answer is Yes, What is the Question?”

According to Habeeb, “All of us have a story about how we became the person we are today. My story was shaped by a loving family, a dream and life-changing adversity. The most important lesson I learned was that the simple notation of kindness can take you anywhere you want to go in this world. This lesson has carried me through my life.”
