In an age of unprecedented access to technology and resources, we like to believe that support is just a click or call away. Countless hotline numbers, shelters, community centers, and mental health or emergency services help those who have fallen victim to the devastating experience of human trafficking. These resources are vital lifelines for many, pulling people from the grasp of a horrible situation. But the truth is, the most impactful support doesn’t come from institutions. Instead, it comes from the people closest to us — our friends, family and loved ones.
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. She was a courageous leader, and I’ll always be grateful for her mentorship in my life,” says Katie Chang. Our prayers are with her family and all those who knew and loved her. Kitty, we’ll miss you.
