Justin Lukasewicz, Chief Executive Officer
Justin Lukasewicz joined GTL as the growing organization’s first dedicated program manager in January 2021, with a focus on improving access to and diversification of the organization’s programs through multiple initiatives. In addition to working to continue to build and refine both Lead Tucson and the Civic and Political Leadership Academy curriculum, Justin was instrumental in the launch of GTL’s Tucson Youth Leadership Academy in 2021. A graduate of the 2020 Lead Tucson class, Justin was honored to be named GTL’s Chief Executive Officer in April of 2022, where he is committed to living out his passion for leadership development, recognizing people through their strengths, and working to create a stronger Tucson community as GTL’s CEO.
Originally from Pennsylvania, Justin earned a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Misericordia University. He moved to Tucson in 2006 to get his Master’s degree in Higher Education from the University of Arizona, and in the process, fell in love with the desert and the City of Tucson. Justin worked in large public universities for over a decade in various roles within Residence Life, where he managed student groups and the training and development of more than 500 students and staff annually.
When Justin isn’t driving growth and new initiatives for GTL, you can catch him performing and teaching improv comedy at the Fourth Avenue District’s Tucson Improv Movement, where Justin is the owner and executive producer.
