Leadership Evanston alumni reflected on their experiences in the organization and looked to the city’s future at the 29th annual Leadership Evanston Alumni event on Thursday.
Leadership Evanston is a program through ECF that seeks to strengthen the community by creating new leaders through a 10-month in-depth learning experience.
The virtual event, which the ECF hosted, featured Leadership Evanston alumni Dave Davis, Mercedes Fernandez, Jill Skwerski and Tasha Triplett. The alumni focused on the importance of creating a community, especially one that is inclusive to all of its members.
“As you’re building community, it is absolutely critically important to have every voice heard from the get go,” said Skwerski, who serves as Evanston Public Library’s community engagement services director.
