Issue Days

Participants work together over the course of their first year of the program exploring critical community issues and acquiring leadership skills.  The program begins with a two-day retreat in August, which includes an overnight stay. 

There are nine Issue Days, held once a month, beginning in September and concluding in June.  Each Issue Day concentrates on a critical community issue and an associated leadership skill. Community leaders and area experts lead the discussions as class members explore relevant local topics.

Critical issues of interest:

Skills Day

The December Skills Day is for skill enhancement and a mid-year retreat.  Potential skill enhancement activities:

Field Trips

Class members participate in at least six field trips that will expand their learning experiences as well as enhance their appreciation and understanding of the community. Frequently participants visit facilities they might not otherwise be able to tour or observe.

Shadowing Exercise

Through the daylong shadowing component of the program, class members have an opportunity to observe firsthand the leadership style of a civic, business or professional leader of their choice. Many long-term relationships have been established through this exercise.
