Community and business leaders can
access the knowledge and experience
of world-renowned leaders by attending
Leadercast at the Gannet Auditorium at
Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs on
Friday, May 8.
Leadercast is live broadcast from Atlanta
to hundreds of sites around the world,
including Saratoga Springs.
This year’s speaker lineup includes:
Andy Stanley, a leadership author and
communicator; Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel
laureate and founder of the Malala Fund;
Ed Catmull, president of Pixar & Disney
animation studios; Seth Godin, a bestselling
author; Rudy Giuliani, mayor of
New York City from 1993-2001; Aja Brown,
mayor of Compton, Calif.; Bill McDermott,
CEO of SAP AG, a software company; Former
Navy Seal Commander Rorke Denver;
and Bill and Giuliana Rancic, co-hosts of
Leadercast.
Last year, over 130,000 leaders from 35
countries attended Leadercast, organizers
said. It is now in its 16th year.
“It is one of the single most consolidated
sources of leadership that I know of,” said
Tom Roohan, president of Roohan Realty.
“But it goes beyond that. I think this webcast,
although very focused on leadership,
transcends the topic and really shows you
how to lead in life. I am excited to be a
part of bringing this special webcast to our
community again this year.”
This year’s theme–The Brave Ones —
challenges leaders to lead with a sense of
bravery, possessing a posture of unrelenting
boldness. Organizers say brave leaders
disrupt industries through innovation,
stand firm in the face of opposition, and
embrace risk.
Sponsored by Roohan Realty and Leadership

The broadcast lasts from 9 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.
