- Why I'm a CLC Member
“Leadership Cleveland introduced me to amazing people and places around the city. It also raised my awareness of the problems and opportunities of our region, inspiring me to engage more deeply in solutions. Just because the ‘best class ever’ graduated almost 20 years ago doesn’t mean that the networking and engagement have ended for me.”
Sue Tyler (LL, LC2 2019, LC 2004)
“Being a member of CBB … changed my outlook, enhanced my work style, introduced me to new friends, and impacted me as a person overall. Continuing my CLC Membership was a true no-brainer for the value that I received and have continued to receive even as an alum.”
Kayla Webb (CBB 2021)
Market Director of Advancement, Northern Ohio, Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana

Patricia Terstenyak (CLI 2021, CEBC 2013)

“I grew a lot as a leader during my Bridge Builders experience. It connected me to members of the community outside of my field. CLC’s work is extremely important and I hope my support helps others to participate.”
Mariannella Napolitano (CBB 2015)
