2008/2009 Class Calendar The purpose of the Mesa
Leadership Training and Development 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 LTD 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 LTD
also afford class members an opportunity to spend a
day with a local leader of their choice to observe
leadership in action.
 The
Mesa LTD 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.
Almost 600 alumni have
graduated from the Mesa LTD Program. Many have pursued public office, served
on
city boards and commissions, and/or donated their
time and energies in a variety of way.
