CEOSpace Erie, PA

John-Leslie Brown was in Erie, PA April 20, 2010.  Brown was a featured guest at a Teen event sponsored by CEO Space to educate teens about the  CEO Space Teen FEAST (or Teen Space).  The room was full to overflowing and many teens were inspired to sign up for Teen Space for July 2010.  A special thanks to Hungry Howies Pizza for providing the awesome pizza’s!

Immediately following the teen event the adults enjoyed a Preview of CEO Space from John-Leslie Brown’s viewpoint.  His inspirational message was very well received and all who were there were motivated!  We had several who enrolled to attend the May Forum for CEO Space.  Our local Erie club is growing quickly as word is spread of our cooperative networking.
