Leadership Pasco's Class of 2022 Meets In Person

To Our Leadership Pasco Family, 

Welcome Back! So much has changed over the last 20 

months and the Leadership Pasco Class of 2022 is no different. 

I am overjoyed by the character and courage of our 

community. We saw our first virtual class orientation and 

the establishment of the Harold Sample Lifetime Achievement 

Award. A big thank you to Tom Celotto for his vision 

and determination to establish this award. 

Thank you so much to the sponsors who have made a 

commitment to Leadership Pasco and the class of 2022 

through in-kind support or funding. They are listed with links to their company/organization on the following 

page. 

As alumni, you all have rallied around our community during this pandemic and I cannot express my 

gratitude enough for all that you do. As with any non-profit, your gifts to the Leadership Pasco Program are 

more important than ever. We rely on your dues to keep the program exciting and relevant. We hope you will 

take the opportunity to pay your 2022 dues in the amount of $50, and ensure the continued success of this 

unbelievable program. 

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to Pasco County and Leadership Pasco as we move

Harold Sample Lifetime Achievement 

Award Presented to Harold Sample '91 

By Jason Longo ’17 

Harold Sample '91 was honored at a surprise ceremony in 

September as the first recipient of The Harold Sample Lifetime 

Achievement Award. 

Director Emeritus Tom Celotto '11 proposed this new award at a 

Board meeting including a second recipient, Doreen Packard for 

her work with Youth Leadership Pasco (See pages 6 and 7). Both 

the award concept and the recipients were unanimously approved 

by the Leadership Pasco Board of Directors and the work 

to quietly create the awards and plan presentations was quickly 

underway. 

Unlike the Judith Rochelle Award, this is a non-annual award. 

The honor may be provided to an individual who has committed 

10 or more years to the organization, having never received 

compensation, who is a non-Leadership Pasco board member. 

Recipients should be committed to Leadership Pasco's integrity 

and promote the ideals of the organization. 


Harold was a part of Leadership Pasco's first class and has been 

involved ever since. There isn't an alumnus who has not met Harold 

Sample through his work on the Bus Tour program days. Due 

to COVID concerns the class of 2022 tour has been postponed. 

Tom Celotto had these words for Harold during the presentation. 

"In 1991 Leadership Pasco Organization originated and among its 

classmates was one person who would become committed to the success 

of the organization for decades to come. Each year as new class 

members joined LP, the initial impression of our organization was led 

by that one classmate from that class of 1991 who introduced Pasco 

County to them with such passion and love. 

Harold you are an amazing person, your Leadership for our organization 

goes unmatched, The Board and Alumni of Leadership Pasco 

would like to recognize your 30 plus years to our organization with this 

Harold Sample Lifetime Achievement Award. 

This Award will be used to recognize others who have dedicated themselves 

as you have to Leadership Pasco." 

Harold provided these heartfelt comments regarding Leadership 

Pasco and his lifetime achievement award. 

"Understanding the history, diversity, and challenges facing a 

community is crucial for effective leadership. For over 30 years 

Leadership Pasco has played a key role in helping to provide this 

to hundreds of now alumni, creating a huge network of knowledgeable, 

involved, civic-minded citizens. 

Manny Long '16, Board President presents Harold Sample '91 with 

the Harold Sample Lifetime Achievement Award. 

I have had the pleasure to be a part of this program since its 

inception and to have met so many great people who are driven 

to make Pasco County a better place to live. 

Receiving this award is very, very special. I’m especially honored 

and humbled by having a Leadership Pasco service award named 

for me. I know there are many who have worked harder than me 

over the years to make this program the success that it is. It is my 

hope that they too will be recognized for what they have continuously 

contributed." 

Future Nominations for the 

Harold Sample Lifetime Achievement Award 

At any time, Leadership Pasco alumni in good standing may 

nominate an individual for this award based on the criteria. 

Self-nominations will not be considered. Nominations should 

be communicated to the current Leadership Pasco Board 

President, who may request support documentation. 

After a nomination has been received, the Past Presidents' 

Council will meet and review the information that qualifies 

them to be nominated for this award. The Council may grant 

multiple Lifetime Achievement Awards annually, but this 

award is not an annual expectation.

Honoring Doreen Packard for a Lifetime of 

Dedication to Youth Leadership Pasco 


Doreen Packard, lifetime volunteer of Leadership Pasco's Youth 

Leadership Program was the first recipient of The Harold Sample 

Lifetime Achievement Award. 

The honor may be provided to an individual who has committed 

10 or more years to the organization, having never received 

compensation, who is a non-Leadership Pasco board member. 

Recipients should be committed to Leadership Pasco's integrity 

and promote the ideals of the organization. 

Barbara DeSimone '96 presented the surprise award to Doreen 

at her home. Tom Celotto '11, who had the idea for this award, 

wrote a letter read by Barbara. 

"Doreen: 

When I served on the board for Leadership Pasco and had the 

opportunity to follow the Youth Leadership Team (You, Rob, and 

Barbara) I was truly amazed at how much you did. At the time I 

did not know much about you, so I learned through Barbara and 

Rob your many roles in keeping YLP running smooth. 

As time went on, I would see you at the YLP Graduations, say 

hi and always made sure to thank you for being a part of the 

program. 

Doreen, your selfless giving of your time, love, and passion for 

our YLP program has not gone unnoticed by our Board and 

Alumni. 

Our Board unanimously voted to not only present this award to 

you, to also create an award specifically for you to honor you in 

such a manner. 

Harold Sample was recently awarded a Lifetime Achievement 

award for his continued commitment to our LP program. 

Today you are the first recipient of the Harold Sample Lifetime 

Achievement award for your 20 plus years of hard work and 

dedication to our Youth and the YLP program. 

I am sorry I could not be in person when you received this award, 

that does not mean I am not thinking of you each day and pray- 


ing for you to get better. 

Thank you again Doreen. 

Your Friend, 

Tom Celotto" 

Doreen is courageously battling an illnesss, and this year she 

will not be abe to volunteer with Youth Leadership Pasco. She 

created an amazing foundation for the program and how it operates, 

and several alumni are dividing up the many duties which 

she performed with reliabilty, expertise, and joy for many years. 

We appreciate all that Doreen has done for our community and 

our youth program and wish her good health and happiness. 

I have been involved in the Youth Leadership Pasco 

program with Barbara De Simone, Rob Aguis, and Ben 

Diel. It has been a truly wonderful experience working 

with the youth of Pasco County. I was honored to be a 

part of the team. 

I also, became the first recipient of the Harold Sample 

Lifetime Achievement award this year. What a surprise 

and honor that was. It really meant a lot to me and I 

hope to continue to be a part of the YLP team. Thank 

you so much for this recognition.

Class of '22 Starts on a High Note 

By Craig Laporte '06 

Because of the pandemic, the Class of ’22 started its year with 

Criminal Justice Day instead of the traditional bus tour. The 

condensed class met at nearly sunrise, early on the morning of 

Thursday, October 21, 2021 at the Pasco County Jail in Land O’ 

Lakes. 

After being transported by bus to the sheriff’s aviation hangars, 

the class was introduced to the sheriff’s marine unit. During the 

explanation of the missions of the marine unit, the class was disrupted 

by a high-speed chase being conducted by multiple sheriff’s 

specialty units including traffic interdiction, SWAT, K-9 and 

aviation. The driver of the pursued vehicle jumped out and ran, 

only to be taken to the ground by one of the K-9s. The passenger 

was apprehended by SWAT and other officers at gun point. All 

the while, the sheriff’s Huey helicopter hovered overhead, providing 

coverage for the pursuing officers. Fortunately, the suspects 

were apprehended and the class returned to its primary mission 

of learning about the criminal justice system in our county. 

After touring the facilities and visiting with the specialty units, the 

class was transported back to the jail, where they were immediately 

immersed in a highly interactive exercise. They were broken 

into groups and each group was assisted by a member of Sheriff 

Nocco’s command staff as they learned how the sheriff’s office 

approaches various scenarios. In this case, they had to direct a 

response to a bomb explosion and active shooter at a local high 

school using the available resources. 

The class members then had a chance to learn about the functions 

of the State Attorneys Office, the Public Defender's Office, 

the Courts and law enforcement from a panel of distinguished 

guests. This year, we expanded the time for the panel and, even 

then, ran out of time for questions from the floor. We want to 

thank Chief Administrative Judge Shawn Crane, State Attorney 

Bruce Bartlett, Public Defender Sara Mollo and Colonel Jeff Harrington 

for sharing their expansive wealth of knowledge. 

After a working lunch with Sheriff Nocco and members of his 

Behavioral Health Intervention Team, talking about the proactive 

approach being taken in Pasco to identify and assist those 

with mental disorders in locating support mechanisms, the class 

began its walking tour of the jail. They learned extensively about 

the challenges faced by the corrections staff in dealing with 

inmates. One clear take-away from the Sheriff and his staff is 

that most inmates in the jail suffer from either drug addiction or 

mental health issues. The sheriff said that the jail should not be a 

mental health or rehab facility, but unfortunately due to a lack of 

resources in the community, it had no other choice. That is why 

Sheriff Nocco is partnering with many non-governmental agencies 

to create a support network. 

This year wound up with an expanded and interactive forensics 

demonstration. The sheriff’s forensics unit teamed up with Time 

Trap Escape Room, operated by LP Alums Jeremy Simons and 

Kim Hamm, in putting on a murder mystery requiring the class to 

solve clues using high tech forensics equipment. Between lifting 

fingerprints, finding blood residue and identifying anthropological 

clues, the class ultimately solved the crime. 

As the day came to a close, it was obvious the class took a great 

deal of knowledge about our criminal justice system home with 

them. The interaction between the class and the sheriff’s staff 

was outstanding. Once again, we want to thank all of the participants 

who made this such a successful day, and especially the 

sponsors: Sheriff Chris Nocco, and Laporte, Mulligan & Werner- 

Watkins, PA, Attorneys at Law, who made the day possible. 


Pasco County Sheriff's Office and many other experts wowed the Class of 2022 with expertise and dedication. 

Class members got to experience a study in foresnsic science. 


A Message from the Class of 2022 Officers 

By Taiwan Simmons '22 and Laura Knight '22 

2021 has been a whirlwind of change. After 2020, COVID-19, 

and government shutdowns it only makes sense that many would 

have little expectations about having a successful year. We do not 

subscribe to the idea that we are doomed to a less-than-excellent 

existence and that all is lost. There are too many things to fight 

for: family, friends, and our community. These are all extremely 

important to us. We both made a commitment to serve where we 

were planted many years ago and we have done our best to hold 

true to this commitment. Now, we each have been blessed with 

the opportunity to serve Pasco County as members of the Leadership 

Pasco Class of 2022. 

Our community was faced with countless problems that were 

either a direct result of the pandemic or severely worsened due to 

the pandemic. During this time, our community rallied behind the 

major problems affecting all of us and worked together to find 

effective solutions. However, our work is not yet done. 

As members of the class of ’22, we are honored to be on a team 

of so many that are serving at our level and greater. We have so 

many men and women that are invested in the success of Pasco 

County and the Greater Tampa Bay area. Our class has character, 

personality, and grit. It’s only been a couple of months, yet 

we still believe that our motto for the year is more than appropriate. 

It’s perfect! ’22- 2 Legit 2 Quit. Regardless of the challenges 

that we will face this year, we are determined not to quit or be 

defeated. 

Our sincere congratulations to the Class of 2020 who pushed 

forward in raising nearly $20,000 for their class project despite 

all the setbacks that they faced. We would like to thank the 

Leadership, our Pasco Board of Directors, for organizing another 

fantastic Class. Our hats go off to the board for adapting the 

various instructional days to be COVID-19 safe without losing 

the integrity of the lessons. We have begun to see just how much 

work goes into planning the Class and we are most appreciative. 

Our goal for our class project is to raise the most money in the 

history of Leadership Pasco. Through our Class Project we will 

address a major health and human service need impacting our 

community. We will work with a local non-profit agency to creatively 

find a solution to a community issue. We know that there 

is an organization that will be blessed and so much stronger for 

our sacrifice. The people that they serve will also reap the benefits 

and Pasco County will be better for it. 

To our fellow classmates, we are looking forward to a great year 

with all of you. Thank you for making the short time we have had 

most enjoyable and thank you in advance for all your collaboration 

and teamwork. We look forward to the continued journey 

with you all! 

Warm Regards, 

Taiwan Simmons

Youth Leadership Pasco Returns 

By Barbara De Simone '96 

Ben Diel '16, Doreen Packard, and Barbara De Simone '96 volunteering at one of many past Youth Leadership Pasco events. 

Youth Leadership Pasco (YLP) is a leadership development 

program that informs, motivates, and increases the awareness 

of selected high school sophomores and juniors through 

issue-oriented seminars and interaction with community leaders. 

Unfortunately, the program was on a pandemic break last year. 

The good news is YLP will resume in January 2022. In the interest 

of fairness, this year applications will be accepted from seniors. In 

addition, the sessions will be held over a shorter time period instead 

of the usual one session a month to be able to finish before 

the end of the school year. 

Once again, the program will consist of Orientation/Team Building, 

Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice, Economic Development/ 

Government, Health Care/Community Services and Education/ 

Career Development. The finale is the graduation where the high 

point is when the students make brief comments about what they 

liked about the program. Many of the students learn so much 

about what Pasco County has to offer. The adults who attend 

come away with the feeling that the future is in good hands. 

Unfortunately, this year we will be running the program without 

the assistance of Doreen Packard who is fighting an illness. She 

did all the behind the scenes work for almost 20 years and will be 

missed. 

Seventy-five applicants attending school in Pasco; public, private 

or home schooled; completed the appliation this year. If accepted, 

the fee is only $35 due to support from O’Connor Law 

Group, PA, the Pasco Education Foundation, Regional Medical 

Center at Bayonet Point, the Pasco County Sheriff’s office, Fred 

K. Marchman Technical College, and several Rotaries (Dade City 

Noon, Holiday, New Port Richey, Port Richey, Seven Springs, Trinity, 

Wesley Chapel Noon, and West Pasco Sunset).
