Community Leadership
If you are looking to grow one or two of your organization’s employees as leaders, consider one of our Community Leadership programs.
We have partnered with your local Chamber of Commerce to offer a community leadership program designed to enable candidates to learn about this area’s resources, values, strengths, weaknesses, and challenges.
Discussions provide opportunities for candidates to exchange ideas, build networks, and begin the process of identifying and solving important community issues.
This is a ten-month program offered in Albert Lea, Austin, Farimont (Martin County), and Waseca. Applications are available in the spring with an August kickoff.
