Applauding the spirit of small towns

PRINCETON — The Princeton Chamber of Commerce hosted another Chamber breakfast event on Wednesday morning. The Wise Guys banquet room was filled with not just Princeton Chamber members but also with people from neighboring towns and villages. While the buffet breakfast was clearly reason to come, the keynote speaker for the event was the main attraction.

Jack Schultz was full of inspiration mixed with a variety of anecdotes as he addressed the crowd. Schultz’s visit was sponsored by Midland States Bank and Shaw Media. His speech focused on “ordinary people in ordinary towns ...” doing extraordinary things.

Schultz knows about extraordinary. He is the CEO of Agracel, Inc., industrial developers for manufacturing and high-tech entities of Effingham; the chairman of the board for Midland States Bank; and the author of “Boomtown USA: The 7 1/2 Keys to Big Success in Small Towns,” which was published in 2004.
