Welcome Tino Mantella, President & CEO Turknett Leadership Group

What a treat to hear from Tino Mantella as we honor these Roswell High School student leaders at Rotary today. Tino's passion is youth leadership. As CEO of the Chicago YMCA, Tino worked to provide programs that helped youth from so many different backgrounds.  As a former wrestler, he connects with student athletes and has provided numerous mentoring opportunities for young people. And as a connector for people in the corporate world with his past experience at the helm of TAG (Technology Association of Georgia), he is generous with his time when counseling young people just starting out in their careers. 

Leadership Lessons the Hard and Only Way

Tino's presentation will focus on these three points:

1. Courage of Conviction

2. BHAGS (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) Aligned with Action

3. The Difference YOU Can Make

Welcome Leadership 20/20 Student Leaders!

These students are nominated by their teachers for classroom leadership not based on academics, not athletics, etc.  So you will see a full scope of the RHS community.

CyberBullying - Debbie Cwalina
