Local First is the largest business membership group in the United States, with over 3,600 members, and a powerful advocate for shopping local and having pride in the place you call home. Thomas, who has been with Local First for 6 years and served as ED for 18 months, shares powerful insights about the power and importance of local businesses in making our communities a home, why you shouldn't feel ashamed to shop at Target, and the secret to creating change in your life and at work. Catherine also goes on a rant about the difference between cause marketing and change engineering, so you won't want to miss that.
