"Leadership Eastside Recruiting Next Class" - December 12, 2007
Leadership Eastside (LE) is now recruiting for its fourth class of next generation community leaders. Through a three-year program, LE aims to strengthen community connections by developing leaders who become involved in affecting positive change for many important issues facing the Eastside region.
The LE program is designed to help participants look at the needs of the Eastside in a holistic lens. In year one of the three-year program, learning activities are a blend of monthly leader seminars focusing on six core leader capabilities, conversations with business and community leaders, and adoption of regional community projects that address pressing Eastside issues. Years two and three offer participants customized support designed to assist their transformation into community leaders. This is accomplished by providing ongoing community leadership skill building, mentoring opportunities, leadership guidance, and connections with business and community leaders.
Successful applicants will live or work on the Eastside, represent the rich diversity of the Eastside, have proven leadership qualities and demonstrate the potential to initiate positive change in their communities.
LE is grateful for the support of leaders of a broad base of public, private and not-for-profit organizations committed to healthy Eastside communities.
Application materials and program information is available at www.leadershipeastside.com. Applications for the LE Class of 2011 are due by April 2, 2008.
