But Pastor Bill Mitchell of Boca Raton, a major business hub located in Palm Beach County, had a different vision for his community. He believed the church could play a key role in raising the bar of ethics and character in this city.
That’s why Boca Raton Community Church, long-term friends of the Global Leadership Network, began CityLead in 2014. They envis ..read more
