Leadership Rockland, a non-profit educational organization that prepares individuals who live and work in Rockland for leadership roles in the community, is seeking applicants for its next 10-month program, which begins in September.
Class membership is competitive, based on an application including an essay, three references and interviews by Leadership Rockland alumni. Since the first class in 1990, nearly 500 individuals from business, non-profits, education, government and other aspects of life have graduated from the program. A $1,000 tuition fee, usually paid by the individual’s employer or organization, covers ten day-long classes — typically one each month — and includes meals, materials.
Areas of study include leadership skills; Rockland history and diversity; environment and transportation; economic development and tourism; education and developing human capital; politics and public policy; and arts, culture and the media, among others. Classes are facilitated by local expert coordinators, often at locations appropriate to that class topic.
The organization is dedicated to nurturing a visionary leadership base that is prepared to address the county’s challenges and their solutions.
The deadline for applications, which can be downloaded here, is April 24, 2009.
