The Legacy Group Celebrates 25 Years and Legends Award Winners at LESE
The Legacy Group hosted its Legacy Exclusive Sales Event (LESE) August 4-7 in Chicago, IL. The event was sponsored by 34 Legacy Preferred Suppliers and was attended by the top sales executives from each of The Legacy Group partner agencies.
This year’s theme - Elevate, Innovate, Celebrate was inspired by The Legacy Group’s silver anniversary as one of the industry’s preeminent buying groups, as well as their continued commitment to transformative collaboration and community. More than 160 industry professionals took part in two and half days of sales meetings and evening networking, culminating in a celebratory dinner cruise and fireworks over Lake Michigan.
PPAI President and CEO, Drew Holmgreen, helped kick off the conference and shared his thoughts on the future of the industry and PPAI.
