LUCERNE, Calif. – The Lake Leadership Summit 2015 Committee announces that a limited number of Summit 2015 tickets are available through scholarships to Lake County residents who have been affected by the Valley fire. 

These scholarships are offered by the Summit creator’s core group, the Lake County Regional Economic Development Committee, a volunteer group of individuals from local businesses, educational organizations, city and county governments, and workforce development offices from throughout the county who want to see local businesses thrive and attract new business to the area.

“We want to make sure the price of a ticket isn’t what holds back someone who has lost everything and wants to attend,” said Michelle Scully, executive director of Marymount California University’s Lakeside Campus and Summit co-creator. “The Summit is a time where we can talk together, collaborate, and hopefully be inspired in ways to help our friends, neighbors, and county re-envision and rebuild.”

The 2015 Lake Leadership Summit is an event designed for Lake County’s small businesses, entrepreneurs, innovators and thought leaders scheduled for this Friday, Oct. 9, at Marymount California University’s Lakeside Campus.

The Summit is specifically designed for individuals who crave novel ideas, practical, apply-it-now information, and for those who appreciate partnerships and collaborations. 

The event offers a mash-up of thought-provoking speakers and hands-on breakout sessions intended to challenge the status quo.    

Tickets are $35 per person or $50 for two and are available at www.embracethelake.com .      

A limited number of scholarships covering the ticket costs are available.
