LEADERSHIP SOUTHEAST VERMONT

Building Community Awareness and Participation

The mission statement for Leadership Southeast Vermont is prepare leaders to affect change in our communities, and foster civic awareness. The program is designed to create an understanding of obligations and commitment to becoming “trustee” of our communities.

The class brings together people of diverse backgrounds, experiences and view, who have a strong interest in becoming active leaders in their communities. Whether you know very little about the community in which you live, or are already a member of numerous committees, you could be a perfect candidate.

Leadership Southeast Vermont is an intensive interactive program that runs from September through June with a full day meeting once a month. Each meeting focuses on a community theme. Through presentations, group discussion, field trips and class projects, participants are immersed in the many aspects and complexities of the issues facing our communities. Presenters include state and local officials as well as community and business leaders, all of whom will become accessible resources for leadership participants.
