NEW BEAVER BOROUGH — The Presidential Leadership Scholars (PLS) program today announced State Rep. Aaron Bernstine (R-Beaver/Butler/Lawrence) has been chosen as one of 60 scholars nationwide for the program’s fifth annual class.
PLS serves as a catalyst for a diverse network of leaders brought together to collaborate and make a difference in the world as they learn about leadership through the lens of the presidential experiences of George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Lyndon B. Johnson.
The fifth class was selected after a rigorous application and review process. Scholars were chosen based on their leadership growth potential and their personal leadership projects aimed at improving civic engagement or social good by addressing a problem or need in their community, the country or the world.
Over the course of several months, scholars will travel to each participating presidential center to learn from former presidents, key former administration officials, business and civic leaders, and leading academics. They will study and put into practice varying approaches to leadership and exchange ideas to help strengthen their impact in their communities.
“I’m incredibly honored to be given this rare opportunity to collaborate with some of the greatest leaders in public service, including President Bush, President Clinton, and former senior White House officials” Bernstine said. “The valuable experiences and networking opportunities will help me to enhance our significant progress in the 10th Legislative District. I look forward to learning and implementing innovative ideas for the residents of Beaver, Butler and Lawrence counties.”
