Lee County Leadership program looking for next recruits

LEE COUNTY - The Lee County Leadership program is actively recruiting their next class of participants.
Lee County Leadership is an interactive, research, and place-based community development program that spans over the course of eight months. This includes facilitated discussions with an instructor from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, as well as community visits, panel discussions, and a trip to Des Moines for Southeast Iowa Days with local leaders.
The group will meet one full day a month from October to May. During the course, participants will gain knowledge in identifying local issues and opportunities, building social capital, mobilizing resources for community action and much more. Participants will put these skills to good use while working on a community project submitted by local non-profit organizations.
The tuition investment for this program is $750 for Chamber Members. Employers often choose to cover the tuition, treating the course as professional development for their employees.
