LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

.ROGER LESOFSKI
Roger gives new meaning to the old song "I've been Everywhere"

This man has been there, done that and has the hat to prove it.  Roger is not someone to sit still long and to sit quietly.....oh no....not our Roger...you will find him moving and grooving and promoting Optimism wherever he goes.

If you have a question don't sit back, just ask.  You may get a surprising answer.

Along with his District duties, Roger is still an active member in his home club.
​

Roger's Optimist Experience consists of many different hats throughout the past number of years
