Ferrara|Buist managing partner David Buist recently graduated from the Leadership York County (LYCO) program developed by the York County Chamber of Commerce! (Congratulations, David!)
Leadership York County is a program of the chambers of commerce of York County and is committed to developing a group of informed, dedicated and qualified individuals capable of providing dynamic and progressive leadership for York County. The program involves activities designed to illustrate positive leadership opportunities through civic involvement and service to the community.
“Leadership York County kicks off each September with a two-day overnight retreat, combining team building exercises, community leadership examples, and personal leadership development,” said David Buist of Ferrara|Buist. “The course continues monthly for seven months as area leaders in business, government, media, education and service organizations come together to inform and enlighten participants on issues and concerns facing York County.”
Each year, members of the Leadership York County (LYCO) class are asked to work as a team to identify a specific need in 
our community, research available resources, and create and implement a service project to meet that need. This year’s class has chosen to address basic needs and to support the empowerment of children living in the community of Blackmon Road. Partnering with “A Place for Hope”, LYCO organized a supplies drive to benefit the residents, raise funds to maintain the community’s supply of kerosene, and coordinated a community “empowerment event” on April 30 of this year.
“LYCO is a wonderful experience and I am truly luck to have been given the time from my family and career to participate in the 2010-2011 class,” added Buist. “I strongly encourage any local business person who wants to make our community a better place to live and work to enroll in the program!”
