Richard Dina and Sandy Olivia

On October 20th, the LGS FORE class welcomed two guest speakers, Richard Dina and Sandy Olivia. Richard Dina is the Senior Advisor to the President, and Sandy Olivia is the Executive Director of Coalition against Domestic Violence. Both speakers are dedicated workers in the non-profit sector. LGS students are encouraged to become globally aware and become leaders. The program also encourages students to partake in community service events and give back to their local and global communities.

Richard and Sandy both talked to the class about the important qualities of a leader. A leader not only inspires others to do great things, but inspires others to become leaders.  It was amazing to see their dedication and passion to work with non-profit organizations. These were people who had the chance to work with large businesses, but instead they chose to work with an organization that helped the people who were in need. Dina and Olivia were definitely inspiring and reminded the students why they chose to become LGS students.
