Leadership Tallahassee

Joanna Bonfanti, LT 32

I am a recent LT graduate and found the program to be incredible. I think participating in LT helps you know your community better to a certain extent and build your own professional network.

Jessica Lowe-Minor, LT 31

Although I'd lived here for more than 10 years before joining LT, my experience with Leadership Tallahassee made me a real resident. Trust me, you don't know Tallahassee until you've done LT!

Miriam Nicklaus, LT 29

LT is one of the most outstanding experiences I have had. One thinks they know Tallahassee and then they go through LT. The experience makes you realize just how rich our community is with culture, sports, government and natural beauty. The experience is priceless and just keeps giving! And of course having Barbara Boone as our leader is just plain awesome!

Sherrie Kishbaugh, LT 27

Was an amazing year with friendships formed that will last a lifetime. I continually recommend LT to fellow professionals who have not taking that first step to filling out the application!

Gini West, LT 7

I definitely believe you reap what you sow and Leadership Tallahassee is an excellent example. I graduated many years ago and my participation has waxed and waned over the years depending on what was going on in my professional life. The years I am able to actively participate I am reminded of what a great resource LT is; networking with my fellow colleagues, my former classmates, as well as benefitting from speakers regarding pertinent topics of interest are all of benefit to me.

Michelle Bono, LT 32

Leadership Tallahassee is not just for younger residents or new residents. It is an opportunity to see your city in a new way; to hear perspectives you've not heard before; and to establish life-long relationships with people from diverse backgrounds. It allows you to become more fully a part of your city and to understand the value of giving back and being involved.

Carla De Baldo, LT 30

Applying and being accepted into LT was so exciting and the experience extremely rewarding. I learned a lot about myself and felt challenged throughout the year. I think the scrutiny that goes into the application process is quite fair; it should not be about personality, but a person's ability to lead and influence their community in a positive and inspirational way.

Frank Mercer, CPA CFP

We opened an new office in Tallahassee in 1990 and being part of Leadership Tallahassee helped me network, get business and launch our new office.

Kristina Holmen-Mohr, LT 8

My year in LT was the best year of my adult life from a professional standpoint. I honed leadership skills that have stood me well ever since. I made friends with the most interesting people who probably would not even have been on my radar screen if not for LT. And I learned so much about my community!
