Thank you to Robert Ankrom, Chair and his Class 26 team for recruiting more than 200 people to attend Family Day, April 30, at Met’s Stadium and the sponsors: Florida Power & Light, Hustons Commercial Interiors, Colonial Life Insurance, First Citizen’s Bank, and Martin Health System. Our group was one of the largest groups to visit the park and I hope Class 27 will follow in Class 26’s legacy with their family day event in 2018.
In other alumni news the alumni board has nominated the 2017-2018 board of directors for your review to be approved at our June social. Graduations are in the air! Adult LEADERship Class 27 will have their graduation Thursday, May 4th and we will celebrate the 20th Youth LEADERship Class Graduation on Tuesday, May 16, both held at the Stuart Yacht & Country Club.
I encourage Class 27 and our seasoned alumni to get involved with the Youth LEADERship program by contacting myself [email protected] or Jeanne Dunn at [email protected]. By serving on the committee, you will assist with one of the LEADERship “days” similar to adult LEADERship. I served on the committee after I graduated from Class 21. It is a great experience to work with businesses in the community to create a special day for these students. Lastly, you will get to have lunch with the students and their families at the gradua-tion luncheon where the Alumni Board will give out the Nancy Sailer Youth LEAD-ERship Scholarship to a high school graduate of the youth program.

We had another exciting year with the LEADERship Program.
Class 27 “27 Leads The Way”, or is it “Rogue 27” has really come together,
and I expect we will see great things from them. They will graduate on May
4th and we have already started the search for applicants for class 28. I am
truly excited to have three classes under my belt, and am looking forward to
the next few months, searching for applicants who are ready to take on a new
challenge and outlook of Martin County. If you have someone in your busi-
ness or organization, or know someone in your industry, please let me know
and I will get an application to them.
I would like to thank Sue Hedgepeth, Planning Chair and the Planning Committee for the
awesome job they do all year long planning, scheduling and following through on the various days.
These Alumni have taken the leadership role seriously and have gone the extra mile. They are
fulfilling the on-going mission of LEADERship Alumni. I invite all Alumni to join us, or the Youth
LEADERship Planning Committee at any time during the year.
Please join us on May 4th for Capstone Day at Treasure Coast Hospice on Indian Street and
Class 27th Graduation at the Yacht & Country Club. Call me for more information at 772.287.1088,
ext. 106 or email me any time at [email protected].
Taryn Kryzda (13) Martin County Administrator, has been busy with staff
changes this past year.

istration, will continue to be a Liaison to the business community, engage as need-
ed in economic development activities and retain oversight of Airport operations
and capital projects. He will begin his transition immediately with a target comple-
tion date of May 1, 2017.

The Martin Youth LEADERship Career Day Program Chair,
Linda Fitzpatrick from Keiser University, kicked-off the day at the
impressive Pine School’s Hobe Sound campus with an orienta-
tion overview. JoAnn Faiella, C.O.O. of Treasure Coast Urgent
Care, followed up with a workshop on attending job fairs and
interview tips.
Orientation was followed by the first break-out session led by
Leslie Haviland, Associate Director of Student Activities at Keiser
University. Ms. Haviland reviewed proper resume formatting and
tips, and students took a group quiz to learn the dos and don’ts
of resume writing. The advice was particularly useful, as
students had an opportunity to attend a job fair immediately
afterwards. Students were given the opportunity to search for
summer jobs, summer internships and volunteer opportunities
with approximately a dozen businesses. Many thanks go to
Cheree Ramirez from Manpower for coordinating the Career Fair.
Students rotated the rest of the morning between presentations from local experts in their fields. Emily Maas and Trish Brown from Indian
River State College gave a presentation on budgeting, particularly during the college years. Kat Deusterhaus, from the Social Butterfly
Agency, discussed social media and how students can brand themselves based on the way they post and use social media, such as Linked
In, Facebook, etc. A delicious lunch was provided courtesy of The Pine School. We are grateful to Beth Lettengarver, Director of Admis-
sions, for her help with logistics for the day. The afternoon session started with a fashion show of “What to Wear vs. What Not to Wear” to a
job interview and was presented by Amy Moyer. Six MYL students enthusiastically modeled clothing provided by SteinMart. The fashion
show, complete with runway carpet, music and commentator, included a take home brochure on the dos and don’ts, including pictures and
suggested looks for a young job seeker’s first interviews.
The Martin Youth LEADERship Program for high school students is in its 20th year. For more information about Martin Youth LEADERship,

Robert Ankrom, Chair of the Family Day at the Mets Baseball Game, sends his THANK YOU’s to his Class 26 team Elisabeth, Linda, Emily & Jenn, who are the best and jumped right in there with him. Our sponsors: Colonial Life, First Citizens Bank, Florida Power & Light, Hustons Commercial Interiors and Martin Health System who ensured that this event would be a financial success. The volunteers who helped register all our 202 family members. The board members who gave me guidance in planning, coordinating and promoting the whole affair. I am so proud to be a LEADERship Alumni. Your personal commitments to the success of this program is very evident and helps to inspire folks like my Class who are just becoming more engaged in community events.
This was without a doubt - a total team effort.
