To our <strong>Leadership</strong> <strong>Pasco</strong> Family,<br />
We had a great kickoff to the Class of 2024<br />
program year! I had the opportunity to meet and<br />
welcome our new class of 34 outstanding leaders<br />
during our orientation in August. I encourage<br />
and welcome our alumni to meet our new class<br />
at any of our program days. If you are interested<br />
in attending or assisting with any program days,<br />
please contact me or Angel Cook.<br />
The class went straight into the program the<br />
same day with <strong>Leadership</strong> in Action Day. It was a<br />
fantastic day filled with learning about leadership<br />
skills, leadership traits, and leadership personalities.<br />
In September, the class had the pleasure of having a two-day bus tour led by our dedicated bus<br />
tour leaders, Harold Sample and Kurt Conover. We all love and remember our bus tour days.<br />
The class had the opportunity to tour and learn about our growing and dynamic county.<br />
I had the pleasure of attending Criminal Justice Day with the Class. Thank you to Craig<br />
Laporte, James Mallo, Sheriff Chris Nocco, the <strong>Pasco</strong> County Sheriff’s Office, and <strong>Pasco</strong><br />
County Corrections for putting on an extremely exciting and informative program day!<br />
We are also about to start our Youth <strong>Leadership</strong> <strong>Pasco</strong> program. Barbara Desimone and<br />
Rob Aguis have a great year planned for these young leaders. We had a record number of<br />
applicants this year, 95 applicants from 18 different schools! This enthusiasm speaks to the<br />
successful record of informing, motivating, and cultivating our leaders of tomorrow.<br />
As the new <strong>2023</strong>-2024 president of the <strong>Leadership</strong> <strong>Pasco</strong> Board of Directors, I would like to<br />
thank the board of directors for the trust you have placed in me. I do not take that trust lightly.<br />
I would also like to thank our program day leaders, volunteers, and speakers for the countless<br />
hours and efforts you put in to making this program a success. Last, but certainly, not least,<br />
I want to thank our sponsors who support our program throughout the year. Without your<br />
financial support, our program would not be possible. I am honored to serve as your president<br />
and I am excited for the year ahead!<br />
I look forward to seeing you at our Jingle & Mingle <strong>Leadership</strong> <strong>Pasco</strong> Holiday Party on<br />
December 5th at Thirsty Buffalo!<br />
Best regards,<br />
