Leadership Hanover to Begin Fall 2016 by Natalie Neal The 2015-2016 Leadership Hanover session comes to a close this month with another program set to begin October 2016. The current class will make a visit to the PA State Capitol for their final session, to visit with legislators and discuss local issues on a state level. Meeting one day a month for six months, Leadership Hanover is a unique program focused on discovering and developing the leader within each participant. The program is designed to make future leaders more successful by better knowing the Hanover area, networking with key business owners, and establishing relationships with other participants. “Leadership is about knowing the people that follow you, and being conscious of the people and places that made them who they are today.
On a local level, leadership means understanding the culture that makes Hanover so special,” said Kenny Watson, Vice President at M&T Bank and current Leadership Hanover participant. Kenny Watson, M&T Bank “I believe the most skilled leaders understand the importance of looking to the past to guide their decision-making process. Truly, Leadership Hanover is a great way to get plugged into your surroundings and ultimately make your surroundings a better place to live and work.” continued page 3
