SLLF Upcoming Events
According to President Harry S. Truman, “The greatest part of the President’s job is to make decisions– big ones and small ones, dozens of them almost every day” and no president except perhaps Abraham Lincoln had to make as many critical decisions so quickly as President Truman. Join SLLF at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library for “The Buck Stops Here: Leaders Make Hard Decisions” to explore the life, legacy and lessons of America’s 33rd President about how to make the kinds of difficult decisions that you face every day.
Thanks to all of our friends and supporters who took the time to send us messages to celebrate SLLF’s 50th Anniversary!
