Our Mentors represent the best leaders and managers from the local community. We have recruited top professionals from every sector of the local economy. Mentors are senior leaders in banking, local government, elected office, the military, tourism, law enforcement, public utilities, land development, retail sales, academia, insurance, education, law, technology and manufacturing. They represent collective wisdom of our local community and all understand the need to help develop tomorrow’s leaders and realize it is up to them. Mentors have many redeeming qualities; one that stands out is servant leadership.  There is no greater leader than one who truly understands the meaning of service and demonstrates it daily.  Every BUILD mentor has this quality!
