Dr. Les Martisko - In Memoriam

It is with heavy hearts, that we note that friend and mentor, Dr. Les Martisko, has passed away after his battle with leukemia. We know that the friends and family that surrounded him were a comfort. As a man dedicated to promoting education in the United States, he has worked tirelessly for over 40 years to encourage our youth to become the leaders of tomorrow. I know that I, for one, would never have become a state director without his legacy. Thank you, Les and may you dream of brighter futures.

Regards,

Chris
