The entire staff and Board of the Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders is heartbroken to hear of the passing of Kitty Yannone. Kitty was a member of the CTL Board of Advisors, popular guest speaker and generous supporter of the organization. “Kitty was a force of nature, a true believer in the power of good leadership, and one of the most generous people I knew.
