Dr. Yemi Akande-Bartsch, president and CEO of FOCUS St. Louis, was honored as an “Exceptional Neighbor” by Enterprise during halftime of the St. Louis City SC match against the Seattle Sounders at Energizer Park in downtown St. Louis on Saturday, March 7.
The Enterprise Exceptional Neighbor program, a partnership between Enterprise Mobility and St. Louis City SC, recognizes St. Louisans whose leadership and service strengthen the region. One honoree is recognized during each regular-season home match.
Akande-Bartsch was recognized for her leadership of FOCUS St. Louis, a civic leadership organization that develops and connects leaders committed to strengthening the St. Louis region.
Developing leaders has long been central to the organization’s mission, and sustaining the FOCUS leadership experience remains one of its top priorities.
