Leadership and community is the main focus of LinkedIn Local. We’re honored to feature Kilong Ung, who is known as Golden Leaf. He will talk about “A Purposeful Life Of The Golden Leaf”.
Kilong Ung will share his life story from surviving the Cambodian labor camp and genocide to currently owning a State Farm insurance and financial services business. His memoir, “Golden Leaf”, and his non-profit, Golden Leaf Education Foundation, have inspired many people to laugh, love, live, let live, and forgive.
