&Barr Continues To Invest In Leadership Growth Across Central Florida

At &Barr, leadership extends beyond our agency walls and into the community we’re proud to serve. Over the past nine months, our COO Douglas W. White has represented &Barr in Leadership Orlando Class #108, the 50th anniversary class of this respected program. With over seven thousand graduates, Leadership Orlando is the largest leadership training program in America. The experience has allowed him to grow even more as a leader while connecting with more than 100 of Orlando’s established and emerging changemakers.

Now, as Doug graduates, our VP of Public Relations, Erin Gutknecht, begins her own journey with Leadership Orlando Class #109, continuing our agency’s commitment to community engagement and leadership development.

Programs, including Leadership Orlando, strengthen not only individual leaders but also our collective impact. They help us build relationships with the people shaping Central Florida’s future and expand &Barr’s reach and reputation as a trusted voice in the community.

By showing up, learning, and leading with purpose, our team continues to elevate &Barr and the clients we represent. As Doug and Erin’s journey continue, we’re reminded that leadership is a cycle of learning and giving back. And at &Barr, that commitment to growth never stops.
