Why do you give to Leadership Indianapolis?
“Through SKL, I had the opportunity to engage with a diverse group of young professionals who wanted to impact their community in a positive way. I continued to see the positive impact leaders could have in our community. I continue to support Leadership Indianapolis today, because I think that by exposing community focused people to opportunities to develop these skills, we have a better chance at solving the problems we have in our community.”
Why is civic leadership important to you?
“Civic Leadership is a positive way to engage with a community. It’s how we make our world a little better and hopefully improve it for the next generation. I have always found in any volunteer role I participated in that I get much more out of it than I give.”
How has being a civic leader brought more meaning/impact to your life?
“I think in my current role at Jump IN for Healthy Kids, I am better prepared to give the most to my community and hopefully improve the health of our kids today before it negatively impacts them as adults.”
