Highlands Circle: Emerging Leaders Giving Back
A few months ago I was talking with someone about Highlands Circle and she asked me, “So what is Highlands Circle? What’s in it for someone to join?” I’ll be honest: I didn’t have an answer. Which is interesting, because I usually don’t find myself at a loss for words.
