Deadline to apply for October Sumner County Leadership Initiative classes is Sept. 15
Sumner Newscow report — The following is a press release issued through the Sumner County Economic Development Commission Director Stacy Davis:
———
Sumner County needs future leaders to fill our local elected positions and to lead our community, civic and charitable organizations. The Sumner County Leadership Initiative identifies and grows those future Sumner County leaders and provides them with the tools they need to be comfortable stepping into a leadership position that can help sustain and grow our communities, businesses, and Sumner County.
The 2021-2022 Sumner County Leadership Initiative classes will be starting in October. Sumner County Leadership Initiative (SCLI) was formed to be the center of excellence for civic leadership development in Sumner County and its communities.
The purpose of SCLI is to identify future leaders of all communities in Sumner County, to make them aware of the challenges facing our cities and surrounding areas, and to inspire them to accept the responsibility of providing the leadership necessary for our county to succeed and thrive.
The classes will be held on the 1st Wednesday of every month beginning in October 2021 and going through May 2022. The class times are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., except for February (overnight trip to Topeka) and May (wrap up and graduation 9-5). Classes will be held in various communities within Sumner County each month.
The deadline for leadership applications is quickly approaching, September 15. I understand that time away from the office can create challenges, but I would encourage you to consider sending one of your employees through this eight-month class.
This class is an excellent opportunity to network as well.
The cost for the class is $175, however, scholarships are available. If you have an employee that would be an excellent candidate for this class, please consider sending them through.
Let me know if you have any questions. Have a wonderful day!
