The Leadership Sanibel-Captiva Planning Committee recently presented the Class of 2024.

The Charitable Foundation of the Islands created the program to prepare and encourage the next generation of leaders and volunteers. The inaugural 2022 Class was a success, but Hurricane Ian caused a one-year delay for the second class.

The 2024 Class features 13 individuals committed to improving the quality of life in the community. The members include Marvell Bradley, Kyle DeCicco, Nancy Elting, Paula Friedman, Melissa Halliburton, Bailie Johnson, Dudley Malone, Sarah McClure, Brian Rist, John Rosen, Audrey Stewart, Rachel Tritaik and Ken Washuta.

“The program aims to equip interested residents with in-depth knowledge about the community, preparing them for leadership roles as current leaders retire,” committee Chair Jane Majeski, of the Class of 2022, said. “They will gain in-depth knowledge of how the island functions, including briefings on government, environment, arts and culture, business, health and wellness.”

Members of the inaugural class served on the committee and helped select the 2024 participants.

The program will begin on Jan. 18 with an opening session and reception led by Porter Goss regarding the Sanibel Plan. It will run through March 14, culminating with a “graduation” celebration dinner and class feedback session at the Captiva Island Yacht Club on Captiva.
