History:

For nearly 2 ½ decades, Leadership La Porte County educated program participants whose contributions through interactive exercises have helped shape community progress and development throughout La Porte County.

 

Curriculum:

The adult Leadership program commences in early September.  Participants experience team building exercises while studying various leadership styles during a mandatory two-day retreat.  The program continues with eight individual program days (one per month) leading up to graduation ceremonies in May.

 

Throughout the nine month program, participants gain valuable exposure to community leaders, programs and service initiatives, while engaging in interactive assignments, which raise community awareness and action. 

 

Candidate Selection:

Candidates must have the full support of the business or organization they represent. 

Candidates are selected on the basis of demonstrated leadership, commitment to our community, civic involvement and leadership capacity.  Approximately 30 candidates are selected in the La Porte County area representing a diverse cross section of the community, including business, education, non-profit agencies and community organizations. 

 

Tuition:

Tuition for the nine-month program is $800.00 which covers the retreat program, program day materials, meals, transportation and guest speakers.  Tuition payment is the responsibility of the sponsor or program participant.  Tuition assistance is sometimes available for the Adult Leadership program to nonprofit organizations and small businesses.  Contact the Leadership office for more information on tuition assistance.
