About Leadership Central Delaware…

Now in its 21st year and with over 500 alumni, Leadership Central Delaware (LCD) creates effective, dynamic and knowledgeable leaders.

The 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 Closing Retreat 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.
