The Table
We love to talk business, leadership, community engagement and involvement. So, why not share those conversations? Brad Wike and Chris Hembrough meet with Business Leaders and Community Leaders throughout Central Illinois each month to bring you their stories. You’ll hear how they overcame challenges and learned valuable lessons that you can apply to your own business or organization. Plus, they might just give you a few laughs along the way.
