LEWISTON — Kathie Leonard and Gene Geiger, co-chairs of the Lewiston Auburn Future Forum, will be the featured speakers at the Great Falls Forum lecture series at noon on Thursday, March 15, in Callahan Hall at the Lewiston Public Library. They will be presenting a talk entitled “What’s a ‘Future Forum’ and What’s it Doing in L/A.”
Leonard is the president and CEO of Auburn Manufacturing, has chaired the board of Central Maine Healthcare and currently serves as a director on the board of the Sun Journal.
Geiger is CEO of the Geiger Group and has served as chairman of the St. Mary’s Hospital board.
Both Leonard and Geiger have been active over the years in a variety of business and community leadership roles.
“The Lewiston Auburn Future Forum was established early in 2011 by the Lewiston Auburn Economic Growth Council to serve as an idea factory with a mission of helping L-A to become Maine’s most desirable community – the place to live, learn, work and play,” Geiger said.
At the upcoming Great Falls Forum talk Leonard and Geiger will describe the work that the Future Forum has done to date and will explain the group’s plan for enabling Lewiston-Auburn to realize its full potential.
