Lead Star
Angie Morgan and Courtney Lynch of Lead Star will be presenting a new day-long module as part of our Academy of Leadership.   They founded Lead Star in 2004 to teach practical, relevant, and inspiring ways to grow and develop leaders based on their experiences as Marine Corps Officers, private sector professionals, and entrepreneurs.

Prior to creating Lead Star, Angie and Courtney, former Marine Corps Captains, had a combined 18 years of military experience.  Following her time in uniform, Angie pursued a career in pharmaceutical sales, where she was quickly promoted and recruited within the industry based on her exceptional sales performance and leadership.  After working with corporate giants like Pfizer and Novartis, Angie changed course to dedicate her efforts and energies toward her passion: leadership training.  Courtney’s private sector experience includes managing a top-notch sales team for Rational Software, earning her law degree at William & Mary and practicing at one of the nation's leading law firms.  Both women are mothers and believe that strong leadership skills are the key to a balanced, fulfilling life.
