Now Accepting Leadership Boise Applications
March 23, 2011Leadership Boise has, and continues to seek, the best, brightest, most energetic and interested participants. As one of the oldest Chamber-sponsored leadership programs in the United States, Leadership Boise has graduated more than 1,300 civic leaders since its inception in 1975.
The purpose of Leadership Boise is to identify these new and potential leaders and to offer a comprehensive program that will:
- Enhance and develop knowledge and understanding of our community, its complexities and its potential.
- Motivate and encourage participants to assume leadership roles in the community.
- Provide an opportunity for participants to meet and exchange ideas with each other and with current community leaders.
Class size is limited and the application process is competitive. Each year, up to 50 participants are selected to join this distinguished program. Please check with your company to see if an internal process exists for selecting a candidate. Participants and their organizations must be willing to commit one day of each month to the program. Those selected will participate in all aspects of the two-year program: attending required sessions the first year and planning Leadership Boise and Leadership Boise Academy sessions in year two. The second year of the program is the most time-intensive due to planning meetings for upcoming sessions.
