The Advanced Leader Program
"My favorite experience with the Adult Program was going to regions that would not normally occur to me...to witness the real fiber of the county. Agriculture day is a prime example of seeing the unseen world of the migrant farm worker. Cane burning was fascinating; the beauty of the soil and the richness of produce, along with the efficiency of harvesting brought a greater appreciation of the good earth."
Laurel Baker, Executive Director, Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce, Class of 2005
LPBC's Adult Leadership Program provides an opportunity for community leaders to participate in an adult learning environment that is interactive and promotes dialogue, teambuilding, and trust.
This program brings together, often for the first time, individuals who represent different dimensions of our communities. Each class embodies the diversity of geographic, ethnic and professional backgrounds in our community. Each year a select group of at least 45 individuals with a demonstrated commitment to community leadership is chosen to take part in an intensive ten-month experience. Following a weekend retreat which helps the class bond as a team, nine, day-long program sessions held monthly help participants explore core local issues in depth. The class members also work together to complete a project with local organizations in an identified area of need. Click here to download an overview of the 2009 Class Projects.
The Class of 2010 was selected in June 2009. Applications for the Class of 2011 are now available, and will be due by April 30, 2010. Recruiting and Information sessions will be held starting March 2010 (visit www.leadershippbc.org in the new year to register). Click here to download a copy of the Class of 2011 application.
