We're thrilled to celebrate our President & CEO, Stephanie Gambone, on receiving the Karl Flemke Pioneer Achievement Award. In her acceptance speech, Stephanie shared: "I lead with a sense of urgency...because our young people need us." That sense of urgency has challenged all of us to think bigger, collaborate more deeply, and create new opportunities for young people across Southeastern Pennsylvania. While this award recognizes Stephanie's leadership, she is the first to point out that every accomplishment over the last four years has been made possible by an incredible team, a dedicated Board, and committed partners who share a belief in the potential of young people. Congratulations, Stephanie, on this well-deserved recognition. We're proud of all that's been accomplished and excited for what comes next. 🎉 #JASEPA #Leadership #CommunityImpact #AdvancingOpportunity
