FEBRUARY 2008 Gov’t Leadership Academy begins Exec. Committee meeting 21st Class Education Day Board of Trustees meeting Annual Alumni Dinner
A Leadership Conversation What’s been the driving force behind your community involvement? My driving fo rce is a passion for community involvement. While in college I was heavily invo l ved in different organizations, such as pre s ident of my sorority, and treasurer of various organizations, while also holding down a part time job. After graduation I focused on obtaining my CPA and Master of Taxation, and was then able to turn back to community involvement.
The second in our series of interviews with Leadership alumni is a conversation with Anna Capaldi (16th), conducted by Scott Haws (20th), of Diebold, Inc.
MARCH 21st Class Cultural Diversity Program 2008 Gov’t Leadership Academy concludes Exec. Committee meeting
As a volunteer you are Leadership Stark County’s Board of Trustees chair, you serve as a Perry Township Trustee and work full time as a senior tax manager at BrunerCox. From a leadership viewpoint, how do you accomplish all that? It all comes down to prioritizing, organizational skills and focus. I also have a good support system that helps in every activity I’m involved with.
APRIL Alumni Exec. Committee 21st Class Arts & Quality of Life Program Alumni After Hours Exec. Committee meeting Last day to ap p ly to Signature Program
Looking back, what was the greatest benefit of your participation as a member of LSC’s 16th Signature Class? The personal relationships that I have developed from the program have been priceless. Also, an almost equal benefit is the awareness of all the community assets that exist in Stark County and can be tapped into. As board chair for LSC’s Board of Trustees, you have overseen an update of the by-laws, and implementation of the Spotlight program for young professionals. LSC has expanded gre a t ly in the last 5 years; tell us about the current board focus. Current board focus is on updating the strategic plan. By doing so the board is able to ensure the infrastructure is in place to support program growth at the level of excellence that Leadership Stark County is committed to.
What was your goal in becoming Perry Township Trustee? My goal is to obtain for the community that which it deserves and not just which it is given. What are the keys to being successful as a Trustee? Remembering that we are there to serve the p e o p l e, s h owing consideration to them and to my fellow elected officials and employe e s . In addition, the use of conflict resolution management. How are you able to keep your responsibilities at Bruner Cox and as Perry Township trustee separate? Community involvement and commitment are very much valued at Bruner-Cox LLP and the partners there are supportive of my community involvement. I strive to prioritize and structure my work so that neither responsibility will interfere with the other. In many ways, the different jobs compliment each other. Anna it’s obvious you’re always on the go, how do you find a way to relax and clear your mind? Spending time with my pets provides great peace. When I’m exhausted from an active week I like to kick back and watch some TV. In keeping with our focus on individuals and their roles as community trustees, the Leadership Link will provide a focused interview in upcoming issues. If you would like to be part of this conversation, either as interviewer or interviewee, please call the LSC office.
