The Center for Servant Leadership

10/26/2015

On October 22, 2015 we gathered at Parkway Place for an evening of inspiration and encouragement.

This year we heard an inspiring message from keynote speaker Fr. James J. Bacik on Servant Leadership.

In addition we continued our tradition of recognizing three incredible Servant Leaders from our community:

- Dr. Jeanine Diller, Director, Center for Religious Understanding at The University of Toledo.

- Alicia Smith, Community Organizer & Restorative Justice practitioner in the Junction Neighborhood.

- Dick & Fran Anderson, The Anderson Family.

It was a lovely evening - Thank you for attending!
