During the program's State and Local Government Day, Sen. Yaw had the opportunity to interact with the current class participants. He expressed his enthusiasm for meeting the future leaders, stating, "Developing the next generation of leaders is important in any sector, whether that be government, academia, business, healthcare, or nonprofits. We are living and working in a time of accelerated change, and the Leadership Lycoming program will help prepare and shape our leaders of tomorrow."

Sen. Yaw, who has extensive experience in public service, shared his insights and discussed how legislative actions impact our day-to-day lives. He emphasized the significance of understanding the role of government in shaping our communities and encouraged the participants to make a positive difference in their future endeavors.
