Where is Rhode Island going and who is going to take us there? United Way of Rhode Island and GoLocalProv are joining forces to identify some of the emerging leaders in Rhode Island.
Robert Sullivan is chairman of the Rhode Island Young Republicans and was the youngest elected RI delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention.
He’s the founder and chairman of the Southern Rhode Island Young Professionals, serves as secretary of the Peace Dale Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation (PDNRI) and is chairman of the South Kingstown GOP.
Sullivan, who is a landscape contractor, says he is helping make Rhode Island better through his work with the SRI Young Professionals.
“Through my work with the SRI Young Professionals and the RI Young Republicans, I get the chance to meet and encourage young forward-thinking adults looking to get started in a new field,” Sullivan says.
Outside of politics and his business, Sullivan has given back to Rhode Island through many other philanthropic means, including work with the Salvation Army, and raising money for the Sojourner House of Providence.
