“I am pleased to see LE’s progress over the past four years.  It is clear you have high expectations for the program.  As you know, Skip and I feel strongly that a solid leadership program on the Eastside is imperative.  We believe in growing our future community leaders and fostering their efforts.  As a long-standing member of the business community (over 52 years) we have seen the impact that leaders can make and felt the pain when there’s been a void of effective leadership in key positions.  We support the direction LE is headed and are encouraged to see the positive impact already.”
