2014 Leadership Northern Colorado Prepares for Graduation
Alumni invited to attend presentation on leadership
The fifth Leadership Northern Colorado (LNC) class will soon complete their six month program and LNC alumni and the public are invited to celebrate the class accomplishments and to learn more about leadership at a luncheon featuring keynote speaker Ryan Wood, former fullback for the Dallas Cowboys, co-founder of the billion-dollar Under Armour apparel company, and owner of Sweetwood Cattle Co. in Steamboat Springs.
The event will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on June 24 at Windsong Event Center, 2901 Saddler Blvd, outside of Fort Collins. Sponsored by Public Service Credit Union and Austin's American Grill, the event provides a great way for Alumni to reconnect to the program and will raise funds to provide scholarships to future class participants. Registration is $25 and available at www.FortCollinsChamber.com. Registration includes lunch and the keynote presentation by Wood.
Join the current class and the over 150 graduates of the LNC program to learn about Wood's experiences and vision.
"I don't come from generations of ranchers, but I've always had a passion for it," said Wood, who left Under Armour in 2007 after 10 years, including two years running its international operations out of Amsterdam.
"The greatest thing about Under Armour were the early years," said Wood, 38. "We sewed. We were bookkeepers, IT guys, sales and manufacturing guys. We did everything from cutting fabric to boxing products in a warehouse. That was so cool looking back on it. Worldwide, there are 2,500 employees, and you think of all those lives that you affected and opportunities you provided."
But Wood was ready to come home to Colorado - to ski, fish, hunt and start his new company producing artisan beef. Last spring his ranch became the first in Colorado to receive the "Verified Green" award from the USDA for its sustainable practices. Sweetwood even ships its steaks across the U.S. in recycled, recyclable or reusable packaging as part of its environmental stewardship.
The 2014 Leadership Northern Colorado program will end June 24 with a final class session and graduation by the 31 participants. The class ran from January through June.
