Glasser/Schoenbaum honors three emerging leaders at annual celebration

At its annual Collaboration Celebration on Feb. 29, the Glasser/Schoenbaum Human Services Center honored three individuals it believes are poised to make an impact on Sarasota's human services community in the future.

Andre McClerklin Jr., with the Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County; Dawnyelle Singleton, manager of volunteers and community programs at Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida; and Sara Brunow, education and engagement director at Asolo Repertory Theatre, were presented with Emerging Leader awards in front of the crowd of about 150 at the Carlisle Inn.

Each of the recipients received $1,000 to use to improve their leadership skills to benefit their organization or the community. In addition to the monetary award, recipients will meet three times during the year with mentors to discuss how they used the funds, what challenges they face in their work and how they can become better leaders.

The event benefited Glasser/Schoenbaum, which seeks to create and support a network of human services-focused nonprofits in the Sarasota area.
