How long have you served with Cleveland Leadership Council?
This is my first year as a trustee, but I've been involved with the Development Committee for three years and served on the OnBoard Cleveland Advisory Committee for four.
Tell us about the organization.
CLC is critical to helping develop leaders of the next generation. CLC has done so much for me in terms of helping me connect with leaders of any generation. They truly succeed in their mission of providing collaborative leadership training, civic education and connections to leaders of all ages. CLC empowers leaders to identify and take action on issues that resonate with them and become change agents in the community.

What is your favorite part about serving with the Cleveland Leadership Center?
I have made lifelong friends and connections that have helped me so greatly over the years. The one that stands out the most is Danny Williams, CEO of Eliza Bryant Village. It is the oldest continually operating African American-founded long-term care facility in the U.S., serving approximately 1,200 seniors annually with nearly 200 compassionate employees and nearly 300 volunteers. I met Danny during my opening retreat for OnBoard Cleveland. He spoke about his work and how important programs like OnBoard Cleveland are for the city of Cleveland. I reached out to Danny to grab a coffee and the rest is history. I now have a great mentor and historian in Danny who helped me better understand the Cleveland philanthropic and business landscape, but we also have some fun together. I would have never been able to establish a relationship with Danny if it was not for the Cleveland Leadership Center.
