Leadership is not measured by titles, power, or position — it is measured by the lives we influence, the standards we set, and the example we leave behind.

Years ago, I wrote Campaign For Leadership Excellence to share lessons on leadership, personal growth, and becoming the best version of ourselves. Those lessons are just as meaningful today as when the book was first released.

If you’ve ever wanted to grow as a leader in your family, business, organization, or community, I invite you to take a look. It may offer encouragement, perspective, or a few ideas that can help on your journey.

Available on Amazon. Thank you to all who continue to support my work and message.

Today we are proud to send a $2,500 scholarship award to the University of Central Florida on behalf of Natalie Blandford.

Supporting students pursuing higher education is at the heart of our mission, and it is incredibly meaningful to see the generosity of our community begin to make a direct impact.

Natalie, we are proud to support your academic journey and wish you great success as you continue your studies at UCF!

This is just the beginning. Through our upcoming Humanitarian Galas, we hope to expand our scholarship efforts and support many more deserving students in the years ahead.

Thank you to everyone who believes in the power of education and service.

The Bergenske Family Charitable Fund honored area resident Lee Corso with its annual Humanitarian Award Saturday at Bahia Shriners. The fund also presented scholarships for three area students.

“Our Humanitarian & Scholarship Gala was truly a success as we honored legendary college football coach and longtime ESPN College Football GameDay personality Lee Corso with our Humanitarian Award,” fund founder Gary Bergenske said in a letter to donors. “Lee was gracious, generous with his time, and fully engaged with our guests — a reminder that true leadership is always rooted in humility.”
