For Immediate Release

05.03.2016

REDDING, Calif. - Tickets are on sale for Simpson University’s 15th annual Business Leadership Luncheon on Wednesday, Aug. 31, featuring consultant, professor and former university president Dr. James M. Grant.

The event, sponsored by Redding Bank of Commerce, is in the Heritage Student Life Center on campus, 2211 College View Drive. Doors open at 11:30 a.m.; the event begins at noon. Platinum-level tickets (preferred seating) cost $25, or $240 for a table of 10; gold-level tickets are $18 or $175 for a table of 10.

Dr. Grant will speak on “Comfort Describes More Than Mama’s Cooking.” After more than 40 years of involvement in nonprofit management, he has learned the importance of successful management and leadership in any organization. But he has also come to understand the importance of the environment that one creates while managing and leading. His luncheon topic stems from those considerations.

After retiring from the presidency of Simpson University in 2006, Dr. Grant moved to Carbondale, Ill., with his wife, Hazel. He teaches master’s-level courses in management, fundraising and marketing, grant writing and issues in nonprofit management at Southern Illinois University. In addition, he does consultation work in management and fundraising with particular emphasis on nonprofit and public organizations.
