🌟 Leadership Warren County: Finding Home Through Leadership 🌟

When Haley Zdarko moved to Warren County in 2020, she was looking for a place to call home. Through Leadership Warren County, she found so much more than a leadership program—she found connections, friendships, opportunities to serve, and a deeper understanding of the community she now proudly calls her own.

From exploring the history of Warren County and learning how local organizations operate, to building professional relationships and discovering new ways to make a difference, Haley embraced every opportunity the program had to offer.

Her story is a wonderful reminder of what Leadership Warren County is all about: helping people connect, grow, and become more engaged leaders in our community.

Thank you, Haley, for sharing your experience and for being part of the Class of 2026! 💙

🌟 Leadership Warren County Spotlight: Liz D’Orsa Tray 🌟

When Liz D’Orsa Tray joined Leadership Warren County, she brought with her a unique perspective shaped by experiences beyond Warren County.

Through Leadership Warren County, Liz built meaningful connections, gained a deeper understanding of our region, and discovered just how special Warren County truly is.

As Liz shared:

“I’ve met so many incredible people along the way, and I’m grateful to call Warren home!”

One of the most valuable parts of Leadership Warren County isn’t just the information learned throughout the year — it’s the connections built along the way. 💙

At our closing spring retreat, the Class of 2026 created this “Leadership Network Map” to visually represent the people, organizations, boards, businesses, nonprofits, schools, and community groups they are connected to throughout Warren County and beyond.

What started as a group of individuals from different backgrounds became a powerful network of leaders who now better understand how deeply connected our community truly is.

This exercise was a reminder that leadership doesn’t happen alone. Collaboration, relationships, and community partnerships are what help move Warren County forward. We are so proud of this class and excited to see how they continue making an impact long after graduation. 🌟

Please join us in celebrating the Leadership Warren County Class of 2026 at graduation on Wednesday, June 3 at 11:00 AM at Interfaith Chapel. All are welcome!

Thank you to Kristi Bogart for creating this image for us to share off of the drawing we made!
