Kaplan Leadership & Professional Development Segment Sales Director, Dana Palmblad, will lead the session, “Preparing Emerging Leaders for Success: Take a Proactive Approach to Growth and Change,” at the 17th Financial Services Learning & Talent Development Innovations Conference in Chicago on October 3.

The company invested in its talent through a customized Emerging Leaders program to develop a group of high achievers and prepare them for the next step of leadership. This is an excellent partnership between the two companies, and Kaplan is happy to help LGIMA realize success. We look forward to sharing our best practices at the upcoming event.”
