The event was part of the 2021-2022 Elizabethtown College Lecture Series<\/a> and proved to be a tremendous success by drawing more than 1,400 guests to the Lancaster Marriott in Penn Square on Wednesday, March 30.<\/p>\n

Throughout the night, Collins shared best practices for small business owners and family-owned businesses to succeed, as well discussed his own organization, The Good to Great Project.<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Good to Great Project was founded as a resource for business owners to elevate their enterprises and build businesses to last.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreatness is not a function of circumstance,\u201d Collins shares in his book, Good to Great<\/em>. \u201cGreatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Next year\u2019s event will host Apple founder, Steve \u201cThe Woz\u201d Wozniak, on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. This event will also be held at the Lancaster Marriott in Penn Square.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur High Center team was excited to see our Business Forum grow again this year,” Executive Director of the High Center Mike Mitchell<\/a> said. “With around 1,400 attendees, including many students and faculty from Etown, this event was the largest dinner in the College\u2019s history. With Apple Computer founder Steve Wozniak as next year\u2019s guest, we are bound to set another record.\u201d<\/p>\n
