Lunch & Learn: Accidental Leadership
Thank you to everyone who attended our November Lunch & Learn on accidental leadership, led by Kim Alvarez, Director of Development at SpiriTrust Lutheran. Kim shared great insights on how to manage up, navigate difficult conversations, and set fair boundaries to maintain your sanity!
ELS volunteers for Day of Action!
Thank you to the ELS members and friends who volunteered for United Way of York County's Day of Action. ELS was at YWCA York, spending time in child care classrooms with children from 6 weeks to 5 years old, and we're not sure who had more fun! Check out photos from the ELS project and from the 80+ other projects around York County!
2019 Annual Reception
Thank you to all who attended the ELS Annual Reception on April 30, presented by PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company. This was a great chance to connect with new and returning ELS members, as well as Leadership Givers and community leaders.
Attendees heard from Tocqueville Society Chair Kent Ketterman on the power of mentorship and the importance of giving back to build a stronger, caring community, and from Jose Santiago of the New American Welcome Center, on the impact of this United Way-funded program.
Thanks to Wyndridge Farm for hosting, and to Tocqueville Society member and owner Dr. Steve Groff for sharing updates on their next venture.
