Columbus, Ohio - Hall Leadership Lessons, a free community leadership forum provided by the Franklin University Leadership Center, will feature Ralph Sanese, President, Sanese Services, Inc., during the August forum. The August session of Hall Leadership Lessons will be held Thursday, August 14, from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. in Franklin University's Ross Auditorium on the Main Campus, downtown, located at 301 E. Rich Street.
In this session Sanese will discuss how he and his "family" have kept their business running through generations of leadership by sharing his personal thoughts on leadership and how he runs the company on his own 10 Commandments for Sanese Services.
Ralph Sanese is the heir to one of the most successful vending and foodservice companies in the country, Sanese Services Inc. Since he was named president in 1991, he has dedicated his tenure to upholding the reputation his father and uncle established while continuing to lead the Sanese brand and vision into the 21st century.
The late brothers Al and Ralph Sr. achieved the rags-to-riches American dream, starting a vending business from scratch in 1946 and taking it to the $60 million-plus mark in 50 years. It is this unique mixture of a rich history and vibrant future that helps keep Sanese committed to not only honor, but also build upon his family's legacy.
Ralph Sanese has served in many key positions at Sanese Services Inc. including Vice President of Operations. He has also served on the Board for many companies and organizations including; Doctors' Hospital Development Board, Franklin University Board of Trustees, Charity Newsies, Adventures for Wish Kids, and the World President's Organization.
He earned his business degree from Franklin University in 1975.
The Franklin University Leadership Center serves as a valuable resource for individuals and organizations looking to identify and develop leadership talent throughout central Ohio, in the four sectors of business, community, government and education.  The Hall Leadership Lessons present leadership development and networking opportunities for anyone interested in leadership. The forums are conducted the second Thursday morning of each month in Ross Auditorium. A continental breakfast is provided.
