Today we have entrepreneur and women extraordinare Penny Ledbetter with us!
Penny is CEO, wife, mother to 4 children, 2 step-daughters, 5 son and daughter-in-laws all of which are all very accomplished in their own fields and grandmother to 9 grandkids with one more coming in September.
I have known Penny for many years as she was one of the few women CEO in my Vistage Group. For those who don’t know about Vistage, it is CEO coaching and peer advisory organization that meets monthly. Penny is the CEO of C. Sanders Emblems. C Sanders is an advertising specialty company that designs original promotional products. They are best known for their beautiful lapel pins that goes on baseball hats, shirts for sports teams like Little League Baseball, clubs like Elks Clubs & RSVP and companies like Disney. Under her leadership, Penny was voted in 2017 by PPAI, PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL, her industry’s trusted professional organization as BEST BOSS to work for. In her early years, Penny spend many years as a teacher before retiring to full time mom after her four kids were born. As Penny’s leadership still could not be contained to just staying at home, she would volunteer in her community that eventually led her to be the PTA President for 3 years, PTA Council President, First District PTA Board for the San Gabriel Valley and Board member on many foundations and committees.
Penny is also the ultimate role model for knowing how to balance work with family and still raise successful children. All of Penny’s 6 children graduated from University with 3 having earned a PhD, all in completely different field. Because I know Penny personally I know how accomplished her kids are truly.
