  This is a charity run/walk held in memory of Christopher Mang who passed away in May of 2018. Chris was a longtime participant in the Skagit County Special Olympics Program and more recently volunteered at a number of Northwest Endurance Events running events. Known for his big personality, Chris was driven by a love for the many people in his life and a passion for helping others – He was a friend to everyone he met. He loved music and movie trivia and enjoyed karaoke with friends. The Mang/Glesne family and the Skagit Valley Family YMCA have partnered to establish the Christopher Mang Memorial Fund. Registration fees from the event will be donated to Chris’ Memorial Fund which supports recreational programming and equipment to benefit under-served youth and families, as well as those with special needs in the Skagit Valley. In the spirit of one of his favorite songs by the Beatles, we hope you will consider a gift to the fund as an expression of love for others in our community: “All you need is love.” https://nwenduranceevents.com/events/chris/

Why do some teams consistently perform at a high level, while others struggle with the same people and resources? In this session, we’ll look at what actually drives performance inside a business. It’s not just hiring the right people or working harder – it’s about the environment leaders create every day. You’ll learn how to set clear expectations, build ownership within your team, and hold people accountable in a way that drives results – not resentment. We’ll also cover how to reinforce the right behaviors so performance becomes consistent, not occasional. Whether you’re leading a team or running a business, you’ll walk away with practical tools you can use immediately to improve performance and strengthen your culture.
