The Hamilton County Leadership Academy has announced the speaker lineup for its 13th annual Leadership Summit, scheduled for June 18 at the Embassy Suites Conference Center.

The event, set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., will focus on workplace culture—an issue organizers say is increasingly important as employers compete to attract and retain talent.

This year’s panel will feature three Hamilton County business leaders:

• Bethany Gremel, Director of Culture and Brand Experience at Beck’s Hybrids
• Mandy Haskett, Leadership Consultant with ADVISA
• Mike Pote, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Gaylor Electric

The discussion will be moderated by Heather Haas, CEO and owner of ADVISA.

According to HCLA Executive Director Maria Kanger, the panel will explore how organizations define and build strong workplace cultures, along with how emerging factors such as artificial intelligence are shaping those environments.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have this phenomenal panel of leaders from well-respected Hamilton County employers,” Kanger said in a statement. “Those who attend the Leadership Summit are bound to benefit from their wisdom and willingness to dig into key questions.”

In addition to the panel discussion, the summit will include the presentation of HCLA’s Distinguished Alumni and Honorary Alumni awards. Recipients have not yet been announced.

The event is open to the public, with individual tickets and sponsorships currently available. Registration is scheduled to close June 1.

Founded in 1991, the Hamilton County Leadership Academy provides leadership development opportunities for residents and professionals across the county. Its flagship Signature Program is a 10-month course that examines key community issues and prepares participants for leadership roles in civic organizations, nonprofits and government.
