Gettysburg, PA
www.gettysburg.travel
Nearly 150 years ago, more than 165,000 Union and Confederate soldiers converged on the small town of Gettysburg. Three days later, over 50,000 of them were wounded in what would be the most famous battle of the American Civil War.
During those three days of fighting in early July 1863, crucial choices were being made, decisions that would not only alter American history forever, but decisions that turned men into leaders. Five months after the battle, Abraham Lincoln made a short, but monumental, trip to this town to deliver what would become known as the Gettysburg
Address. His words would secure the 16th president's legacy and become one of the most recited speeches in world history.
Today, three leadership institutes teach business professionals the principals of being a leader while being surrounded by the great classroom that is Gettysburg National Military Park, the nation's most visited battlefield.
Businesses such as Apple, Kelloggs and ExxonMobil, along with government agencies that include the Department of Homeland Security, FDA, and U.S. Census Bureau, all have taken lessons from the Gettysburg battlefield and applied them to their own organizations.
Three organizations offer leadership train- ing in Gettysburg, and work with a num- ber of local hotels and meeting venues.
The Lincoln Leadership Institute special- izes in business leadership development and motivational speaking, using the Gettysburg battlefield as a "classroom,” and centering its operations one floor above the room where Lincoln put the fin- ishing touches on his Gettysburg Address.
Historic Leadership Training by Tigrett Corp. has taken the lessons of Lincoln, Gettysburg and other historic sites and figures and applies them to businesses of all sizes, which it has been doing for the past 25 years.
The Gettysburg Foundation is known for its efforts to preserve the hallowed ground in Gettysburg for future genera- tions, but this non-profit group also brings lessons of the past to current cor- porations and groups, as well.
• WHAT’S NEW
The Lodges at Gettysburg, just a short distance from the Gettysburg battlefield, is a retreat center offering 24 lodges, along with banquet, ballroom and break- out space. Having opened just a little more than a year ago, this new meeting venue is already attracting planners near and far.
