Scholarship Drive: You Made it Happen!
A note from Kathy Scott, executive director of Leadership Clark County, on our second annual scholarship drive: "One of the five exemplary leadership practices from The Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner is the practice of' 'Encouraging the Heart.' I want to thank you, our incredible alumni, for encouraging my heart and the hearts of so many in this community. Our latest scholarship appeal is one example -- you have really stepped up to the challenge! The final figures are not yet in, but we know you have exceeded last year's total of $5,000. Your generosity will make it possible for several students -- for whom lack of funding would have limited access -- to reap the benefits of the LCC program. Congratulations to all!" Although the class competition is over, the need is still great. We welcome contributions at any time. To make an online donation, go to: http://www.leadershipclarkcounty.com/donate.shtml.
Many thanks!
