LWC Leadership Program Testimonials

Dominic Tarella of Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania

"The LWC program has been a more intellectually broadening course than I anticipated. I expected some leadership training and knowledge about participation on nonprofit boards. But I learned so much more about different aspects of Washington County that I would have experienced otherwise. LWC has given me information and tools to be a better leader in my career and in my community."

A.J. Williams, Controller, Schultz Electric

"Leadership Washington County provided me with positive and quality guidance that I didn’t know I needed. The curriculum, speakers, and interaction with peers representing all sectors of business within Washington County were truly invaluable. There is much to be said for a program that can place a large group of strangers; with varying strengths, differing personalities, and a wide range of life experiences, in a room, and transform them into an efficacious team within 9 months. LWC afforded me an opportunity to form necessary relationships to ensure not only the success of the business I was representing, but more importantly, my personal success as a leader in Washington County. I carry the lessons from LWC with me every day and probably will for the rest of my life. This is a program everyone should experience if they truly want to grow as a leader!"

Aaron W. Smith, Esq., PEACOCK KELLER, LLP

"Like ripples in a pond, strong leadership in Washington County's for-profit and nonprofit sectors has far-reaching effects on the lives of its citizens. To maintain a thriving Washington County, it is imperative that those who undertake leadership roles understand the inter-relation and importance of both. They must act with integrity and mindfulness of how their decisions can positively or negatively impact not only their own organizations, but how the ripple effect of those decisions extend and influence Washington County citizens of every socio-economic level."

Sarah M. Perry, Community Engagement Manager, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania & Maryland

"The Leadership Washington County educates participants on all the unique opportunities, businesses and industries in Washington County. The program is also a great opportunity to meet new leaders in Washington County and focus on personal development. I more strongly appreciate and have a greater sense of pride in Washington County after completing the program and I would 100% suggest Leadership Washington County to other current and up-and-coming leaders in the community."

Matthew Stultz, Corporate Relations and Communication Specialist, Waynesburg University

"Leadership Washington County was an extremely valuable experience for me both personally and professionally. I greatly benefited from being able to develop my best self as a leader, and I am confident that the strategies and philosophies discussed throughout the program will positively impact me and my colleagues. Additionally, the amount of unique, first-hand experiences across multiple sectors of Washington County business, entertainment and community were phenomenal; I walked away from every single class with something new and of value."

Aliesha Walz, Chief Operating Officer Washington County Community Foundation, The Historic Brownlee House

"Leadership Washington County was an extremely valuable experience for me both personally and professionally. I greatly benefited from being able to develop my best self as a leader, and I am confident that the strategies and philosophies discussed throughout the program will positively impact me and my colleagues.
