Leona recognized early on the deficiencies in the health care and fitness industries and was alarmed because of the accelerated growth in the aging population. She knew with certainty that change was needed. In order to elevate the status of fitness professionals in the health industry, there needs to be transparency and accountability. It is her goal to bring both elements to the fitness industry in the state in which she resides. By doing so, other states would hopefully follow.
