Jerry Gillette
Gillette Shows
Two words to describe Jerry Gillette, our Workhorse of the Year, are charismatic and energetic. Once you are in a room with Jerry, you are guaranteed to have countless laughs and leave with a million stories. To have him as a member of our organization has been such a blessing for many reasons. Jerry approaches challenges with new ideas, but is also ready to be the first one to take action. Rather than accepting the way that things have always been done, Jerry looks at a situation and asks, “How can we make this better?” An organization is only as strong as its members and NYSSA is proud of have Jerry Gillette as an active, outspoken, and hard-working member.
