Last month, the Lead Tucson Class of 2025 voted Allyson Israel as their graduation class speaker, and wow, did she deliver! From Taylor Swift’s cat to a moving reflection on leadership, strengths, and hope, Allyson captured the heart of what made this cohort the BEST Class Ever! Her message? Real hope is brave, and this class showed up with courage, vulnerability, and purpose all year long. Congratulations, Allyson, and congrats again to the entire class of 2025! You did it! #LeadTucson #Classof2025 #NextBestClassEver #HopeIsAction 📸 credit: @jscbphotography (fb)

Tonight, alumni of the Lead Tucson Class of 2025 showed up at the TMC Meet Me Downtown 5K Night Run & Festival of Miles! As race participants crossed the finish line, we were there manning the water stations, handing out thousands of cups. We’re proud to be a beneficiary of this amazing event and grateful to the class for staying engaged after graduation and for keeping everyone hydrated. What a fun way to give back and represent GTL! We even saw a few class of 2024 alumni, too! GTL is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization www.greatertucsonleadership.org (fb)
