A Clarinda native will be returning to his hometown Monday, Jan. 23, to serve as the speaker for the Clarinda Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet. Chad Carden, who is recognized as a leading entrepreneur and businesses consultant, will discuss his results-oriented style that helps people change the way they look at life and business.

He is the author of “P.E.P.P. – Preparation, Execution, Persistence and Patience” as well as the book “Winning The Money Game.”

“Chad Carden is a dynamic speaker and will definitely provide an excellent motivational message. We are pleased to have Chad, a former Clarinda High School graduate, speak at this year’s Chamber Annual Banquet,” Chamber director Elaine Farwell said.
