BEST CLASS XXX GRADUATED!

After months of disruption and uncertainty related to Covid-19, the graduates of Prescott Area Leadership's BEST CLASS XXX were feted at a combo in-person and live-streamed Facebook event on December 2, 2020, at Goods from the Garden.

After an introduction and warm welcome from current PAL President Amore Cianciola, Past President Jim Holt addressed all remotely and characterized Class XXX as “patient, supportive, dedicated, and selfless”. He noted that they had all blossomed during this challenging year, a reference to Anais Nin’s quote “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

Cheryl Rolland, Class XXX Coordinator, further lauded the Class members and spoke of their camaraderie and heart. “This Class has really taken the role of servant leadership to heart” she remarked as seven of the graduates currently serve on the Board of PAL Directors and the others serve in ways big and small in their professions and personal lives.
