As the eighth year of the successful program draws to a close, recruitment is in full swing for the next group of servant leaders.

Leadership Whitley County is a unique, eight-month, highly informational program designed to increase community awareness, establish effective networking pools among participants, and enhance leadership skills, both personally and professionally.

The program begins with an evening orientation and one and one-half day retreat in September.  Monthly half-day sessions are scheduled through March, and the program concludes with a celebration event in April.

Employers who are seeking leadership or management training for their employees should take advantage of this quality program and consider supporting targeted individuals for participation.   Participants will miss one half plus one full day of work for the September retreat, with remaining sessions occurring on the third Thursday of each month and concluding at 1:30 p.m.  These monthly half-day sessions allow for employees to plan accordingly and return to work in the afternoon.

Tuition to the program is $600, which includes all meals and materials. There are no travel or lodging expenses.
