I am so blessed to have been a part of something amazing for the past 10 years! I graduated from the BEST CLASS EVER of 2017 and have served on the board ever since! First as class rep, then Youth Leadership Arlington Co-Director for 5 years, then as President-Elect, President, and Immediate Past President. I also have been a recipient of the Sally Kallam Award…and watched my dear friend, Laurie Swink Bianco win it at our Annual Graduation 👩🎓 and Board Meeting. As I roll off the board, I have so many happy memories, have made so many friends, and love to see how the program has progressed from when I was a student. Speaking of that class…my classmate, Holly Hanna Clinton has done an amazing job as President this year. I am so happy you came behind me to move my vision into action and Michael Cisco Dailey I have the utmost confidence in you taking Leadership Arlington to the next level. I cannot say enough about Paulette Ratliff Tutor and all the hours you have spent making everything seem so easy and seamless for the rest of us! Thank you fo your service, friendship, and mentoring! So happy to see Chris Pettit back in the YLA Co-Director position. (We did it together for 3 years!) The students, both youth and adult, class of 2026 are going to do AMAZING things in our community! There will be a more professional post later from our communications team, but for now, I want to say THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ❤️!!
