Mesa LeadershipTraining & Development Class of 2014 - now accepting applications
The purpose of the Mesa Leadership
Program is to cultivate leadership through
education, exposure to the community, and interaction between class
members. Our ultimate goal is to prepare students for a personal
journey along the wonderful and rewarding path to community
service.
The Mesa Leadership Program provides a
unique opportunity to learn about the community of Mesa while
sharpening one's leadership skills. The seminars from August through
May highlight history, business and economics, criminal justice,
city government, the arts, education, social issues, and leadership.
The once-a-month seminars begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 4:00
p.m. A continental breakfast and lunch are provided each class
day.
The seminars are enhanced by a series
of interesting tours not normally available to the public and an
opportunity to learn first hand about the issues currently facing
our city. Mesa Leadership also afford class members an opportunity to spend
a day with a local leader of their choice to observe leadership in
action.
The Mesa Leadership Program is administered
by a dedicated group of alumni who organize class sessions covering
a wide variety of community issues and challenges. Professional
consultants and community leaders also volunteer experience and
expertise to augment the learning foundation.
Over 700 alumni have graduated from the Mesa Leadership Program.
Many have pursued public office, served on city boards and
commissions, and/or donated their time and energies in a variety of
ways.
