Erie Group Honors K2S Director for Regional Contributions

Young Erie Professionals (yep!) honored K2S, PC Director Leslie Guelcher at its third annual Generation-E Leadership awards celebration on March 30, 2007.

The group aims to empower, engage and connect young professionals, civic and corporate leaders and community service agencies as part of a collaborative effort to fuel the reinvention of the Erie region as a progressive, creative and stable economic force. The Generation-E Leadership Award serves to recognize leaders, ages 21 to 39, who dedicate their energy, talent and time to improving the Erie region.

Guelcher was nominated for the award by Marilyn Renkes, also of K2S, who has worked with Guelcher for the past 14 years. Renkes says one reason she nominated Leslie was because “She spends extra hours cultivating [her] network to help our firm continue to grow. This dedication is a direct result of the trust we have in her and she has in us. Our firm would not be the same without her as a team member. She is a self-starter who is a pleasure to work with.”

Guelcher and other award winners were presented with a specially designed sculpture crafted by local artist David Seitzinger during the ceremony attended by community leaders, yep! members and supporters.

Young Erie Professionals supports young talent in the local work force by providing members opportunities for networking, community and civic engagement, and personal and professional development, ultimately attracting and retaining young talent to the Erie region.
