Leadership to me means taking initiative to recognize an issue that needs help and believing that you can take it on while doing the right thing for the organization, even if it is going to be difficult. It is also imperative to ask for help when you need it and always give credit to your team. Another important piece of leadership is continuing to find learning opportunities that help broaden your horizons.

There is no-one more committed to the Beauty of Texarkana USA than Tom Sadowski of McDonald’s, a local business that always walks their talk!  Tom (LT Class of 1980) and McDonald’s have been instrumental in keeping BEAUTY top of mind for city and community leaders for many years as a leader of Keep Texarkana Beautiful, from supporting the publicizing of monthly Beautification Awards for the two Texarkanas, to boots on the ground work of neighborhood clean-ups, the filling and tending sidewalk planters downtown, tree give-aways, and active advocacy at the local level for demolition of eyesores, and billboard and tree ordinances, and at the state level for maintenance of our I30 landscaping.
