OACP President and Chief Marcia Harnden launched the 2026 Executive Leadership Training Seminar early this morning, welcoming a full house and setting a strong tone for the week. Matt Dolan followed to kick off the morning program.

Matt delivered a compelling opening presentation, fully engaging attendees throughout the session and generating immediate interest for a return speaking engagement.
