Spring Planting, Chaotic Markets, Agritourism and Leadership Lessons

This week on At the Leadership Table with Retired Major General Jim Hoyer, he sits down with CJ Harvey, former press secretary and director of communication for Governor Justice, and current Vice President of Communications and Marketing at the University of Charleston. They discuss how leadership is about more than being the boss; it’s about inspiring and empowering others. CJ shares his passion for West Virginia and how is telling UC’s story in his current role.

In the Rooted in the Mountain State segment from The Department of Agriculture we will learn about an agritourism conference that is being held this month.

We have all seen the wild stock market swings. Earlier this month I talked with Craig Slaughter of the West Virginia Investment Management Board on how they are dealing with the stock market swings and to see if he has insight on how to get through periods of uncertainty in the market.

The Saturday before Easter is the unofficial kick off to spring planting. I stopped by the Capitol Market in Charleston to talk with some local vendors about what products they are selling and to get some background on who they are.
