After an introduction by CBL President Drew Rodgers and an enlightening and hilarious speech by CBL Business Professional of the Year, Marty Blair, the theme of Thursday’s breakfast meeting switched to the 2018 Leadership Catholic Class.

CBL President-elect Steve Horvath, who has headed up the Leadership Catholic program for the CBL, reviewed the new program and introduced the inaugural class of 2018. The 12 members are:

Anna Burnett

Russ Cornwall

Tim Grubb

Nicholas Martini

Ryan McCostlin

Ragan Ogg

Mike Ratino

Geoff Smith

Russell Taber

Matthew Thigpen

Elizabeth Watkins

Austin Weaver

These 12 accomplished individuals will spend the next year being mentored by more senior Catholic business professionals, working on leadership development, and embarking on a journey that will enhance and strengthen their relationship with God.
