Partnership Luncheon - 05/09

“The 1% Leader,” Topic of Speaker Keith Frein at May 26th Luncheon.

Keith Frein is former co-CEO and co-founder of PPR Healthcare, a Florida-based healthcare staffing firm providing travel nursing and therapy both nationally and internationally. During his presentation, Keith will share 12 key factors he has identified which contributed to his company’s success and drives home the point that strong leadership is everything during a recessionary economy.

Keith Frein and his business partner built a $40 million dollar business from an initial investment of $10,000. During his tenure as Co-CEO of PPR Healthcare (1996-2006), Keith was twice named a finalist for the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, his company was ranked in the Inc. 500’s annual list of Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies in the United States three times and included among the "Top 25 Best Places to Work" for five consecutive years. Since selling his share of the business in 2006 and moving to Flower Mound, Texas, one of Keith’s passions has become sharing his story with other aspiring entrepreneurs in hopes of leaving them with the slight edge that separates the top 1% of businesses from the remaining 99%.

Also, come say farewell to longtime Mayor of Lewisville, Gene Carey, as he is retiring from public service.  The Chamber will be making a special presentation to Mayor Carey, so you don't want to miss it!
