President's Message
Leadership
This past week Roswell Rotary honored some of our high school football athletes for their leadership skills as well as honor our past president Skipper Hoke. And after a year where UGA won its first national championship in 40 years it's only appropriate that we expanded this leadership award to three of our local feeder football programs into Georgia. According to Skipper's wife "Skipper would be proud" of this day and very proud of these three young men receiving this award with his name on it.
There are many traits of a great leader. One of those traits is an individual who
understands that to be a winner you need to put your team ahead of
yourself. So its only fitting that the
Skipper Hoke Leadership Award was presented by Roswell Rotary whose motto is "Service Above Self" to three young men who exemplify our motto for the good of
their team.
