Marketplace One^(sm) announces the 2^nd annual Leadership Institute

PHOENIX, Ariz. –

Marketplace One is pleased to announce the nominating season for the 2009 Marketplace One Leadership Institute, scheduled for June of 2009 in downtown Phoenix.

Marketplace One seeks to encourage and develop the next generation of marketplace leaders.  The Institute was organized with this vision in mind.  Instructors such as Dr. Wayne Grudem, Dr. Barry Asmus and other marketplace professionals, as well as a participating group of proven leaders help create a dynamic learning environment for personal development.

Walter Crutchfield of MPOne says “We believe young, gifted leaders can provoke global and lasting impact in the marketplace.  The Institute has enjoyed a very strong start with its inaugural class of 2008; we were deeply affected by the participants, not only with their impressive backgrounds and intellect, but their desire to be agents for meaningful change in their communities.”

Marketplace One ^(sm) seeks to produce significant return on investment through the profitable integration of business, leadership and philanthropy.
