“If you have a goal or a dream, events and mentors are some of the most important things you can do and have. It’s vital to learn from the people who have had success in the areas that you are looking to have success in. The best way I have learned to achieve my dreams is to learn from those that have gone before me. It is important to plug into a supportive community because dreams can’t happen on their own. I swear by events like FITposium!”

– Lori Harder, FITposium Speaker 2015 – 2016
