Program Overview

trivalley

In our unique and engaging 10-month program, participants gain a profound understanding of our community and leadership, while learning how elected officials, business and institutional leaders, and community groups come together to address challenges. They meet once a month, in day-long seminars focused on a different foundational aspect of the community or leadership development. Members of the Board of Directors serve as day chairs and are involved in the planning of each of the sessions. Class members interact with subject-area experts, community leaders, and each other through fieldwork assignments, during class and on their class project.
