Special thanks also goes to Kris Parker, Purdue Extension, for facilitating this year's sessions.
The Leadership Academy Program, established in 2006, brings together business and community leaders to create a network of speakers and mentors who participate in coaching sessions, small-group discussions, and skill-building seminars with the program's students.
During the focused seven-session program, participants are infused in the community, exploring the public/city government, private business sector, and non-profit organizations that currently benefit from local leaders.
Upon completion, students are expected to take the insights, skills, and contacts gained and apply them to community organizations. To date, over 60 local organizations have benefited from volunteer time from the Leadership Academy participants, past and present.
Congratulations!
Leadership Academy 2016 will begin in August. Please contact Kurt Gillins for more information and to begin the application process.
