Build the Future Leaders of Your Organization
Leadership CORE supports participants as they work to Communicate more effectively, Organize and prioritize goal-setting and strategy, Relate to others both professionally and personally, and Empower their teams to reach their highest potential.
Designed for new managers or for those striving to step into a professional leadership role, Leadership CORE will launch in the Summer of 2023. CORE will focus on the strengths and potential of the individual, highlighting the difference between management and leadership. With a curriculum presented by expert instructors and a built-in peer coaching element, participants will learn and practice vital management and leadership skills, and will work together to apply those skills to real world scenarios.

How to Apply
Candidates for Leadership CORE must be nominated by their employer. Individuals interested in joining the program should feel free to share this information with a direct supervisor, who may then complete the CORE Nomination Form. Nominees will be contacted at that time to complete an application process and move on to a Selection Committee evaluation.
The 2023-2024 Class will be limited to 15 participants.

CORE will kick-off in August with a meet-and-greet for accepted participants, followed by a one-day Retreat. The program will continue monthly through April of the following year.
