Larry Miller recently announced that retired U.S. Army Brigadier Gen., Jeffrey Foley, former Fort Gordon Commanding General, has graciously agreed to serve as the keynote speaker for the CSRA Home Connections Networking Breakfast and Success Seminar at Be My Guest Catering & Events in Evans on the morning of April 16.

“We are indeed both fortunate and honored to welcome a leader of General Foley's knowledge, experience and expertise to address our Preferred Providers, agents and staff,” reports Miller, the CEO of CSRA Home Connections and CENTURY 21 Larry Miller Realty.

General Foley was originally slated to address the local business group at its Feb.12 meeting that was canceled due to Winter Storm Pax.

“It makes a difference in communities when you have organizations like Larry Miller’s, whose people contribute so much in so many ways to serve others. Their leadership in Operation Hand-Warmer and support of the Easter Seals 'Ornament of Hope' campaign and other fund-raising partnerships with Golden Harvest Food Bank and Goodwill Industries, are simply wonderful examples of what right looks like,” said General Foley. “And I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with old friends and new ones next Wednesday morning."

General Foley served more than 32 years on active duty, culminating as the 34th Chief of Signal and Commanding General, U.S. Army Signal Center and Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia. General Foley is a frequently-requested keynote speaker, and has conducted countless workshops on leadership, team building and strategic planning for businesses, non-profits and military organizations throughout the region.

General Foley is an independent consultant focused on helping organizations develop leaders. His company is Loral Mountain Solutions (http://loralmountain.com/). He previously served as vice president of military affairs for Georgia Regents University (GRU) and Health System. In this role, Foley led efforts to connect the enterprise’s educational and medical resources to meet military and veterans’ needs.

General Foley co-authored the book “Rules and Tools for Leaders” (4th Edition) with retired U.S. Air Force General Perry Smith. He will be offering autographed copies of his book at a special discounted price to attendees after his speaking engagement on April 16.

Foley, who has volunteered to help promote "Operation Hand-Warmer 2014" (coming up this fall), will briefly relate how important Operation Hand-Warmer is to service men and women in uniform. He will also touch upon what the major expansions at Fort Gordon and Georgia Regents University will mean for the Preferred Providers and realtors in attendance, as well as the entire CSRA. General Foley's primary focus, however, will be his personal message of the importance of developing leadership skills in all areas of life: professional, personal, social and spiritual.
