For our fifth story, we are excited to feature Bob Ness, LT’96. When asked to reflect on the impact of LT on his leadership and life, Bob said: In my nearly retired phase of life, I consider engaging in the following activities—improbable and unexpected as some are—as profound delights from my time with LT: 🔹 Serving on the board of the National Community Leadership Association. 🔹 Working with executive teams in many of the region’s most important and successful corporations. 🔹 Co-consulting with an LT colleague to establish the National Arts Organization of Mongolia. 🔹 Creating diverse, multi-ethnic Russian-American teams that focused on inclusion and diversity through training and conferences in both Vladivostok and Seattle, which resulted in a Leadership Vladivostok program. 🔹 Serving as trustee or board officer on philanthropic and nonprofit boards. 🔹 Co-creating the Global Leadership Forum, which focuses on leadership development for social purpose organizations—now commencing its 21st cohort! 🔹 My dear and close friendships that were developed through Leadership Tomorrow. I count on this trusted network of community leaders throughout our region and beyond for input and assistance. ➡ Read Bob’s incredible story here: https://lnkd.in/gWVpFQ4Z Don't forget to register for our 40th Anniversary Celebration and Fundraiser so you can enjoy more inspiring stories like this! 🎟 Secure your spot here: https://lnkd.in/g3Ms6usj #LT40Years #LTImpact
