Chair Justin Phillips and his team of 10 concluded their 2nd annual successful ARYLA in Norwalk Connecticut today. The 4 day program had 30 participants which engaged in rigorous team & skill building activities and a business plan competition.

ARYLA takes a fresh and inspiring approach to leadership for young professionals between the ages of 19 to 29. ARYLA was designed to enhance and test their leadership skills in a changing world. At the overnight conference, attendees will be able to network and collaborate with peers to discover different approaches to leadership, critical thinking, brainstorming and decision-making. Advanced RYLA takes a personal and professional approach to leadership. Business executives, small business owners and non-profit organizations will all benefit from ARYLA!

Passion Purpose and Action is their motto.

Advanced Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (ARYLA), Rotary’s Premier Leadership Conference for ages 19-29 years, featured Jason Roberts on opening night as the keynote speaker on the evening of July 24th, 7pm @ Dolce Norwalk. Jason has been recognized for a large federal grant supporting his project ‘Build a Better Block’. This organization has significantly grown bringing a number of volunteers, companies and resources to the table, all to improve our communities. His approach is both unique and effective.
