Local Leaders
Think Globally, Act Locally
FUROETEES
By Sheila McBrayne
The inaugural Local Leaders speakers summit attracted 150 guests to hear nine inspiring speakers. “It turned out amazing. It was better than we imagined,” said co-orgnizer Kyle Cervini. In total, with ticket sales, raffle and corporate sponsors, the event raised almost $10,000. The seven local university students who organized the event include: Cervini and Linden Crain as co-organizers, Jeron Kir, Carter Janisse, Carter Mastronardi, Bienne Mastronardi and Julia Sloan. The group is considering branding the Local Leaders idea to other university students and areas. The concept, not part of any school project, was just something the young entrepreneurs wanted to do for their community. The money raised will be donated to Habitat For Humanity WindsorEssex. “The idea behind the event was Think Globally and Act Locally,” stated Cervini. “We were amazed at how much everyone appreciated the event and enjoyed themselves,” he added. Speakers included Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Hogs For Hospice co-founder Joe Oswald, Greater Essex County District School Board Trustee Aimee Omstead, LDSS Eco Team leader Lisa Jeffrey, and leaders from Windsor and Essex County including Zain Ismail, Arthur Barbut, Yvonne Pilon, Donald McArthur and Frank Abbruzzese.
