Anthony Spano’s leadership skills, passion for service and community engagement began to take shape during his early days as a student at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio where he received a B.S. in Business Administration and Master Degree in Communication.
In 2007, while employed by the YSU, Anthony founded The Hope Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, a 501(c)3 non-profit with a mission to improve the quality of life for our community’s chronically and terminally ill children and their families through charitable support. He holds the position of executive director to this day while maintaining a full-time position at FNB serving as an Assistant Vice President, Purchasing/Buyer.

Regardless of the capacity in which each person knows him, they all recognize the same thing: Anthony is a versatile leader whose joy in life is derived from the service he does for others around him.
He lives a life guided by a four-pronged approach of “live, learn, lead, and love.” Anything that one may wish to learn about him can be found here in these ideas.
Anthony is a naturally gifted leader.
Anthony loves family, faith, food, and sports. He loves life. One thing that is certainly made evident by his expansive involvement in his community is that he makes every effort possible to get the most out of it and hopes to help everyone around him do the same.
