Marketplace One sponsors its first Leadership Institute

PHOENIX, Ariz. –

Marketplace One is pleased to announce that the first Marketplace One Leadership Institute was held June 15-20, 2008 in downtown Phoenix.

The Leadership Institute was organized to provide a venue for emerging business executives to come together to pursue study, encouragement and networking in applying a clear set of values and principles to business and career.  This year’s class was comprised of 29 executives hailing from diverse industries across the nation.  Guest speakers included veteran corporate officers, leadership experts, theologians and sports figures. 

Bret Edson, Chairman Marketplace One, says “I could not have imagined the depth and quality of the first class of participants in setting a course for fostering a values-based orientation to how business is conducted.  A special thanks goes out to our world-class slate of speakers and instructors in supporting our young executives for meaningful success on their career journeys.”

Marketplace One is a private investment firm that seeks to produce significant return on investment through the profitable integration of business, leadership and philanthropy.
