I did not know until recenty that San Diego was home to the venerable networking organization LeTip. Now I have learned that the founder of LeTip, Kenneth Peterson, has retired and sold his organization to LeTip’s President, Kim Marie Branch-Pettid. 
I sat down with her in December and found her to be a warm, energetic woman with a driving passion to serve her members grow her new business.
Kim Marie came from the banking world, where for 25 years she works in mergers & acqusitions and business development until she left to join Letip and worked her way up the organization. She was appointed president in 2005.
I asked what her goals were for herself and the business. She did not hesitate to tell me that it will be her mission to increase the current membership from 11,000 to 50,000 in two years.
There is no doubt in my mind that this determined woman will do it!
