“At our worst moment, we survived on a uniquely American diet of kindness, generosity, and compassion. You may not find those words in a national security plan, but those concepts are just as critical to our resilience as any national plan.” #WeRemember ❤️🤍💙 #NeverForget

@JohnSchaech @erie_seawolves @TomEScott @EmbryEthan Of course! Great meeting you as well and thanks for your work with @NoticeAbilityLD. Hope you make it back to #EriePA again!

@lesleyridge @erie_seawolves @TomEScott @EmbryEthan Tell you Pop hi! Awesome meeting you

Ending summer on a high note thanks to @erie_seawolves and the amazing cast of #ThatThingYouDo! Shout out to @TomEScott @JohnSchaech #SteveZahn for visiting #EriePA (and @EmbryEthan by zoom)❤️ TTYD started my love for all things production and music. Last night was fantastic! 🥰

@MichaelCJacobs @erie_seawolves @TomEScott @JohnSchaech @EmbryEthan Same! And it has the soundtrack to match.

@lesleyridge @erie_seawolves @TomEScott @JohnSchaech @EmbryEthan One of my favorite movies of all time.

Love the #TTYD history by @lizeriepa in @ErieReader! The picture below was from Dad’s trip referenced in the article. My small, indirect connection to the movie I shared with @JohnSchaech @TomEScott yesterday. It began his efforts to have Hollywood come east and film in PA more.

Q: There isn't always a culture of philanthropy in Appalachia; how do we change it, to get people participating in community-driven philanthropy? A: Transfer of wealth, transparency, and explore what's right (instead of focusing on what's wrong). It's there. #AppalachianLeaders

"When we're worried about resource and fall trap to resource scarcity, we get trapped in the cycle of grant and resource chasing. That's got to stop" - Gerry Roll #AppalachianLeaders

Takeaway: Partnership, leadership, and agency is a key role for foundations in creating lasting impact. #AppalachianLeaders

It's graduation week for #AppalachianLeaders! First session underway: Roundtable discussion on community impact with leaders from Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, Cassiopeia Foundation, Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky Community Trust Foundation, and Lyndhurst Foundation.

Gov. Fletcher: It's just as important to lead up as it is to lead from the top-down. #AppalachianLeaders

This morning’s keynote underway with Governor Fletcher, who served as Kentucky’s governor from 2003-2007. He joins us this morning to share his leadership story with the #AppalachianLeaders. He is a physician by trade who first ran for office (Congress) in 1999.

This week's #AppalachianLeaders session is about cultural assets and tourism throughout the region. Looking forward to great sessions with Governor Fletcher (former gov of KY), our very own Tim Ezzell, Cat Wilt, and Bruce Decker.

Day Two is underway for this month's #AppalachianLeaders session. Currently discussing #broadband. Did you know 1 in 4 households in Appalachia do not have a computer?
