Leadership Chippewa Falls Application Deadline - July 21
Leadership Chippewa Falls was developed in 1999 to acquaint participants with a broad understanding of community successes and issues, as well as civic challenges facing our area. The program consists of eight half-day sessions and a recognition banquet, with one session held each month from October through May. Sessions are led by key leaders within a variety of sectors in the Chippewa Falls community, such as government, education and healthcare. Participants are divided into small groups that work together throughout the program to identify an issue or challenge within the community, gather research, and present possible solutions, taking leadership beyond the boundaries of the class and becoming engaged within the community.
We are now accepting applications for the next Leadership Chippewa Falls Class starting Oct. 20th. Please contact Nicole at 715-723-0331 or [email protected] for more information.
