Leigh Ann,

Since the day I stepped into a Leadership training and had to give directions to Peedy to build something without me seeing it--many expletives were used to btw; I knew that you would be a huge part of my growth and journey. What an understatement. You are a wonderful person with a beautiful spirit. Leigh Ann, I am forever changed as a person and leader. You have a supernatural way of being what a leader needs. You are empathetic always, tough when necessary, and you push for us to think outside the box to solve a problem. You are a safe place, and you will be missed.

Congratulations on all that you have done in your 13.5 years! I am so happy for this next leg of your journey! You are going to have a blast!! I know you will continue to change lives wherever you go.

Safe travels and Cold Tequila!

Leigh Ann,

My hope for you is to have the best adventures and a splendid time at every direction you take. It is sad to see you go, however, it brings me comfort knowing that you are off enjoying life and the wonderful experiences you will share through your stories.

I'll never forget meeting you in person when you visited Team Miramar before the campus opened and you were with us in a confined space (closet) at an office building which was a lot of fun. I'll admit even the Leadership Bootcamp was fun. I wasn't sure at first, haha 😁 but I think we all bonded for the better. I won't forget that tight hug you gave me after the bootcamp was over. 🩷

Thank you for everything and for providing support for my campus!

Have fun out there! 😎

LAP;

You have been a steady source of support for SO many people. A calm voice of wisdom in the face of really complicated situations.

You have been an open door for SO many people. A listening ear and source of information when it was needed most.

Find grace in knowing you made a long-lasting, positive difference.

The long hours, digging deep to find energy and perspective....ALL of it meant EVERYTHING to others in the moments they needed you most.

You gave all of this to me, and more.

Cheers to an excellent run my friend,

Jen Bergeron

Leigh Ann,

Thank you for the years of support and guidance. Ten plus years and three campuses, you were always a great sounding board and partner in planning. Form the first interview with you at California Pizza and the years to follow, your leadership and partnership were both helpful and had everyone's best interest in mind. You stayed focused even through challenges with patience and grace which benefited everyone.

And, in non-challenging times, you provided great conversations for early morning oatmeal meetings, quality recipes for blueberry margaritas, tequila recommendations, New Smyrna Beach recommendations, car talk, dog talk, family talk, and so much more!

You will be missed; I wish you nothing but happiness and success in your future endeavors! Wherever you end up, one thing is for sure, they will be lucky to have you and better off for it.

You will be greatly missed. Thank you for always taking time to listen. You are an exceptional person. Over the years your wise guidance has supported me as a navigated through some difficult times. You also challenged me to look at myself and others through a different lens. I appreciate that and have grown as a leader because of your influence.

You truly care about others while managing the responsibilities to the organization. You are genuine and have been a trusted partner.

There is no doubt you will enjoy your next adventure in life. You have an amazing smile and laugh. Please use those awesome attributes often!

Leigh Ann,

I still remember one of my favorite exercises in a leadership summit was writing a key word on a rock to keep with us. I still have my rock in my office as a constant reminder of what's really important.

Today I share this rock with you, gratitude. When I think of all the support, coaching, partnership, and friendship over the last 13 1/2 years, all I can think of is how grateful I am that our paths crossed at this time. You have been a rock for me and I'm going to miss you tremendously.

I wish you all the happiness, joy, love, and peace that you so deserve. Go out and enjoy this next life adventure.

LAP, I still can't seem to wrap my head around this news to articulate some cool and inspiring words to share as you go off on your next adventure. To me you've been like a pillar, even though you don't always see it, you know it's there to support you. I interviewed with you for my role, and ya kinda scared me. But, weeks later you were by my side at our campus and helped me immensely. I learned so much about the UTI way during our time together and I'm forever grateful! Remember that VERY unique situation on campus 🏎️ ...don't forget to add that to your book! Til our trails cross again, Leigh Ann! Happy travels to you! ~ Shelle Ann

Leigh Ann,

There aren’t enough “thank you’s” in the world to express how grateful I am for getting to know you and work with you over my 10 years with UTI. Your support has truly meant the world to me and I will miss you dearly! Enjoy the next chapter!!

Becky

# data[].attributes.body
Leigh Ann,

I really want to express what a loss this is for UTI, but I don't want to make you feel bad about leaving us. Instead, I will just express how grateful I am to you personally for all of the guidance, wisdom, and development you have provided me over the years. I have grown personally and professionally as a result of our time spent together and have been fortunate enough to be ready when opportunity presented itself. You played a very large part in that, and I will be forever grateful to you. I am happy to see that you will be spending some time enjoying life and seeing the world- you have certainly earned it. You will be missed!

-David Breen

LAP,

I'm not sure where to start other than to say thank you for impacting my life and the lives of so many during your time at UTI. You epitomize our values and purpose, and you've been an incredible partner over the years. You've done more than I think anyone probably realizes, and you've left an indelible mark.

Please know you are valued, adored, appreciated, and respected deeply. I will miss you terribly and can't thank you enough for all you've done. You are one in a million, and I hope only the best as you navigate the next chapter!

For 13 years I have had the distinct pleasure of working alongside you, a true business partner in every sense. You made us all better as leaders, business owners, and thinkers!! Above all else, always ensuring that we kept our people first and foremost. I am very happy and excited for you as you move forward, but at the same time I am very sad as I am sure I will miss the guidance and support you offered myself and our leaders. Please know that you will be missed big time, but your mentoring and partnering with all of us will live on!

PS... thanks for laughing at all or most of my jokes.

LAP,

I will be forever grateful of the love and care you have provided me over so many years at UTI. Your partnership and wisdom have left a lasting impression on my professional and personal life. You were always there whenever I needed you. There was never a time you weren't there which is a true representation of your character, willingness to engage and support others.

Your poise, your grace, your humor, your genuine ability to connect and reflect are just a few of the things I will always remember about you and our relationship. You are so special to me and clearly to so many others as well. Best of luck to you and your loved ones in your next chapter. Knowing you, I know it will be full of love and lots of laughter.

All my love and best to you my friend.

You have been such an amazing partner in my career and I don’t know how to put into words how much you’ve helped me. Thank you for always listening first and giving amazing guidance. Without you, it would have been extremely difficult. We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together and that shows the strength of a relationship. I hope the next chapter is amazing for you because you deserve it. Enjoy and stay in touch 774-826-9026.
