Leadership Worcester Class of 2020 Announced
On Thursday, the Greater Worcester Community Foundation and Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce announced the Leadership Worcester Class of 2020.
Twenty-eight individuals were selected to make up the program’s fifth cohort. Beginning in the fall, these individuals will embark on a nine-month, experiential learning program that will explore critical public policy issues, engage with local leaders, and create meaningful relationships. Through day-long sessions on a myriad of topics, participants will learn more about Worcester’s opportunities and challenges and hone skills that will help them move our region forward.
“Community leadership programs like this one work really well when you are able to bring together people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. Leadership Worcester creates just such a space for these individuals to learn and discover ways their work and interests overlap with the common goal of advancing our community,” said Sarah Shugrue, Greater Worcester Community Foundation program officer. “The fifth cohort is one of our most dynamic groups yet.

QCC Gets Donation of Drum Kit from Famous Drum Maker
SJC Custom Drums founder Mike Ciprari stopped by Quinsigamond Community College [QCC] on Thursday to make a donation of a custom Pathfinder drum kit to the college’s music program.
QCC’s music program has taken off in recent years and the drum donation is a welcome addition to the program, according to QCC’s President Dr. Luis G. Pedraja. The Southbridge drum manufacturer has designed and collaborated with some of the top bands in today’s music industry, making the donation a particularly special one for the college.
SJC Custom Drums has made drums for bands Green Day, Imagine Dragons, and Slipknot, to name a few.
“We want to thank SJC for this wonderful donation and thank them for helping our students. I’ve heard a lot about SJC and all the drums they’ve made for national bands such as Dropkick Murphys, Justin Bieber, Panic! At the Disco, and so many others. It’s a real honor to receive this donation,” said Dr. Pedraja.
