Vickers will also help create new initiatives to support the development and enrichment of area teens and young adults.

“Glenn will be a tremendous addition to the Leadership Prince William team,” Bentz said.  “We were looking for someone to support our existing programs and help us make an even greater impact in our community, particularly with local youth. Glenn fits the bill perfectly and we are thrilled to welcome him to Leadership Prince William.”
