2010 - 2011 Leadership Saratoga Program...
Leaders are activists and Leadership Saratoga programs promote that quality. Participants will receive exposure to critical issues affecting life in Saratoga County as well as hands-on involvement in leadership development. Class members meet the decision makers and community leaders who address not only facts, but perspectives, problems and potentials. Retreats, seminars, workshops and interactive programming comprise just a portion of the Leadership Saratoga experience.
Commitment...
True leaders are serious about their commitment - and with more candidates than positions available, your commitment as an applicant to fully participate in the program is essential. The Retreat is mandatory and will be held Sunday and Monday, September 26 & 27, 2010. Class members must attend 80% of all sessions to graduate from the program. Completion of a group project and attendance at a few board meetings outside of the scheduled sessions are also required. It is expected that graduates of the program will continue to strengthen their community involvement in Saratoga County.
