“A few years ago, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand Tom Taylor’s exemplary leadership. He volunteered to be the Vision Keeper of the East Bay Circle of Men’s Fall Event, the organization’s capstone experience of the year. Tom asked me to be his production manager. Leading an event with 60 men for an entire weekend in the forest is a daunting task. Tom needed to compile and lead a holistic agenda that included safety, spiritualism, humor, good food, accommodations, and logistics in a remote location far from the Bay Area. Tom was a wonderful role model on how to lead with integrity, support and a smile during the entire monthslong preparation process. The Fall Event was a success. I knew Tom before the Fall Event, and am glad I got to know him better during that time”
