Now in its 17th year and with over 380 alumni, Leadership Central Delaware creates effective, dynamic and knowledgeable leaders.
The Leadership Central Delaware (LCD) program will prepare the leaders of tomorrow with the information, knowledge and resources they need to make our county a better place to live and work. The class is composed of a maximum of 28 participants representing a diverse community. Selection is based upon an individual’s desire for involvement in community leadership and Leadership Central Delaware’s goal of bringing together diverse leaders.
It is a ten month program beginning in September with an opening retreat focusing on team building and leadership skills and then meets the first Thursday of each month for a full day exploring Economic Drivers such as Agriculture & Agri-Tourism, Tourism, Energy & the Environment and Healthcare, Community Awareness with topics including Government, Criminal Justice & Public Safety and Media and Communications and Business Development including Economic Development and Education. The final day will include a program evaluation, a self-evaluation and leadership training including goal setting, time management and much more. This is a perfect introduction into the next step, Leadership Mastery.
The Leadership Mastery Program is available to all LCD graduates to further your personal & professional development. We also have quarterly Alumni Receptions and Community Service (BEST IN CLASS) competitions amongst all LCD Alumni.
