Michelle Nelson, PILA President, says “We were honored recently when Billy Canary, President and CEO of the Business Council of Alabama (BCA), helped us kick off our Pleasure Island Leadership Association (PILA) fall events by addressing our group and various members of the community in attendance with a dynamic presentation on the subject of leadership.”

Nelson adds “Since Mr. Canary’s presentation our PILA members from throughout the SH Enterprises companies of Meyer Vacation Rentals, CENTURY 21 Meyer Real Estate, Meyer Services and Starr Textile Services have been sharing their favorite quotes from the meeting such as ‘In order to be a realist, you MUST believe in miracles.’ And ‘Leadership is less like orchestrating a symphony, and more like improvisational jazz.’ We appreciate the opportunity to spend time listening to such an insightful business leader and look forward to our next inspirational PILA speaker in a few weeks.”
