Leadership Fox Cities attracts both long-time residents who want a deeper connection to their community, and newcomers who want to become familiar with the history, needs and resources of their new hometown. The program covers local history, biographies of past and current leaders and philanthropists, a wide-ranging sampling of resources, attractions and leaders here. They ask questions and work to find the answers.

They sit in the seats of city government and county boards, making budget decisions that pit the needs of the handicapped and disabled with requests to fund the arts and other quality of life programs. They trek the trails at local nature centers and weigh the cost of conservation against the investment being made in economic development.

During the year, they will work in small groups to define, plan and carry out a community service project. They will learn how to become involved in the issues and organizations that match their own passions. They will celebrate their successful completion of the program at a banquet in May.
