Purpose

Program Design

A diverse group of existing and potential leaders is assembled for the program to better understand themselves, their peers, their community, and more.

The program includes the following key elements:

• Orientation/Retreat—to review the year long experience and to set the stage for growth. The class is able to create their own identity, build a strong bond with each other, and begin to gain a solid understanding of how to work together as growing leaders.

• Day Sessions—one session per month totaling 7 individual, full day sessions designed to explore various aspects of the community that often dive into local issues, areas of community need, and current community resources. Participants will see aspects of the community they might not have seen before as well as have the opportunity to interact with various community and business leaders.
