TESTIMONIALS

James Humphries

Leadership works best when paired with opportunity, support, education, passion and professional development. The Northern Illinois Rotary helped provide me with all of these elements.

James Humphries

Alyssa Stickland

On the day of the ceremony in April, I was wholly humbled to have been chosen as one of three recipients of this esteemed service and leadership award. I was taken aback and was reminded once again to never give up on my dreams, even if the path to get there veered away from the original plan.

Alyssa Stickland

Elizabeth Rios

After attending the 2018 empowerLEADERS event, I have since been greatly motivated to continue strong on completing my goals. I realized that the leadership skills and knowledge gained throughout my life and career, in addition to my faith, make it possible for me to serve others in need that I never imagined I could!
