Leadership Lamar

Leadership Lamar seeks to identify qualified candidates who wish to assume roles in leadership in our community. The “new” Leadership Lamar Program is a one day per month, over a nine-month period. The participations will have a large role in developing each program, creating their own unique experience. Each Class will drive the process to network and explore community demographic metrics, gain essential skills in conflict resolutions, values negotiation, diversity and inclusion, group dynamics and collaboration. All the while, the class will weave deliberative dialog into the process of team building and community engagement.

The class will begin in August with an orientation and retreat, and total cost of the course is $350. Class size is limited to twenty participants. This is a nine-month leadership training program and is geared toward current and future leaders of our community.
