Raise The Bar Hancock County Salutes Tony Iriti

(From Raise the Bar Hancock County)

As we close out May and celebrate our graduating area students, we must recognize a person who was instrumental in launching Raise the Bar Hancock County back in 2016.

Tony Iriti was a visionary. He was a leader. He was a convener. He knew the importance of workforce development for the Findlay-Hancock County community, and he knew dedicating an entity to streamlining the cradle-to-career pathway would pay dividends over time.

His intentions are paying off for the community and the students. His ability to secure the initial funding for RTB has blossomed us into an organization driving career development activities and strategies. We are reaching thousands of students annually because Tony Iriti once believed in the outcomes possible.

We thank Tony, and those who shared Tony’s visions, for his contributions. With Tony’s passing this month, it leaves us with a void. However, his legacy will long continue through Raise the Bar’s work.
