TOMORROW’S LEADERS TODAY
CLASS OF 2014
“
Participating in Tomorrow’s Leaders
Today was my first experience in
professional networking. It taught
me how to connect with not only my
peers, but also with professionals
throughout northeastern
Pennsylvania. It gave me confidence
as a growing professional to pursue
my passions, and network with
those who could help me achieve
my goals, as well as find ways to
give back to my community.
– Cassie Semyon, Tomorrow’s
Leaders Today Class of 2014
For Cassie Semyon of WNEP-TV,
representing Riverside Junior-Senior
High School as part of Leadership
Lackawanna’s Tomorrow’s Leaders
Today program helped determine her
future. “I connected with students from
across the region that I still speak to
today,” she said. “It’s great to have a
network of support like that as a growing
professional.” The Emmy-nominated
reporter credits the program with building
her confidence as a leader, helping her
further her leadership skills in college
and in her blossoming media career.
“Whenever a high schooler or a parent
asks what should be done to prepare for
college, I always recommend Tomorrow’s
Leaders Today. The program helps you
explore career options, while also learning
how to be a better leader in your school,
as well as for the future. It gives you a
true sense of community service.”
