Leadership College

Spring 2012 Leadership College

A UNIQUE NINE-WEEK COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Leadership College is an introduction to a variety of resources and information available to you as you work within your community and with city staff to improve the quality of life in your neighborhood while promoting a stronger sense of community.

The Leadership College is an interactive, practical, and engaging series of discussions, lectures, role plays, team building, and related field work that will help you:

Learn best practices in organizing your community
Learn how to access city services
Personally meet those who provide city services
Understand city procedures and policies
Gain basic conflict resolution skills

One of the many overwhelming responses that have been received from past Leadership College graduates include the following: "I want to thank all of the presenters; they were very informative, honest, and open in their presentations and follow-up discussions. This course opened my eyes to the need to be involved to improve the quality of life in the city now and for future generations."

It’s free to City of Roanoke residents and employees but space is limited.

The Leadership College sessions are held for nine (9) consecutive weeks beginning on Wednesday evening March 21, 2012 from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and on each consecutive Wednesday evening through Wednesday, May 16, 2012. A graduation program is offered to those who complete 7 out of the 9 sessions.

A light dinner and refreshments are also served.
