Leadership Everyone celebrated its work throughout the region, recognized new LE alumni, and elected the 2023-2024 Board of Directors
Leadership Everyone (LE) reflected on another successful year of engaging with regional servant leaders and fostering community growth during its Annual Meeting on May 2, 2023.
Throughout the evening, LE reflected on the work accomplished in fiscal year 2022-2023 by its staff, volunteers, and board. They began working with a data analytics and consulting firm to audit, analyze, and present Regional VOICE data in preparation for a Reveal in September; LE was written into the Evansville Promise Neighborhood Grant to use the VOICE process to support the project; LE began a project with Bosse High School to support teachers and students; they hosted three Engagement Fairs to connect alumni with area nonprofits in need of volunteers; 133 servant leaders were nominated for the 28th Annual Celebration of Leadership; and 80 people from across the region attended Community Leadership Program retreats at the Barn Abbey in New Harmony.
The Alumnus of the Year Award was presented to LE Board Member Noah Stubbs of the City of Evansville Mayor’s Office. “Noah was volunteering with LE even before he came through a retreat,” said CEO, Lynn Miller Pease. “He lends his expertise to this organization in every way he can. He serves on nearly all of our committees and helps out at every event. But he also makes everything fun!”
The event also served to recognize the year’s Community Leadership Program graduates and elect Officers and Board Members for the 2023-24 fiscal year. See below for the names of LE’s new alumni and the incoming and outgoing Board Members.
