Leadership Perimeter Inc

SINCE 1986, LEADERSHIP PERIMETER HAS DEVELOPED AND INSPIRED LEADERS TO SERVE THEIR COMMUNITIES FOR A LIFETIME. THROUGH OUR ADULT AND YOUTH PROGRAMS, WE EXPOSE LEADERS TO THE DIVERSE ASSETS AND ISSUES WITHIN OUR STATE AND REGION. A SERIES OF SECTOR-FOCUSED DAYS PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO HOW COMMUNITIES FUNCTION WHILE INSPIRING PARTICIPANTS TO GET INVOLVED WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES. WE WORK WITH LOCAL & STATE GOVERNMENTS AND MANY CIVIC & NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO ADVANCE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, CULTIVATE COMMUNITY & CIVIC SERVICE.

FLAGSHIP PROGRAM TO ENSURE A HEALTHY PIPELINE OF COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP WITHIN OUR REGION, OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM FEATURES A SERIES OF SECTOR-FOCUSED DAYS THAT PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO HOW COMMUNITIES FUNCTION. WE PARTNER WITH CITY, STATE AND REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES, AND PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BUSINESSES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE OUR LEARNERS WITH FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE OF COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES. OUR ADULT CLASS MEMBERS ARE COMPRISED OF LEADERS ACROSS ALL SECTORS, INDUSTRIES, AND AGE GROUPS IN ORDER TO FOSTER MORE UNDERSTANDING AND COLLABORATION WITHIN THE COHORT. UPON COMPLETION OF THE FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, WE GUIDE LEADERS TO ALIGN THEIR INDIVIDUAL SKILLS AND PASSIONS TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS; WHETHER SERVING ON NON-PROFIT BOARDS, TAKING ON GOVERNMENT ROLES OR INITIATING A CULTURE OF VOLUNTEERISM WITHIN THEIR OWN ORGANIZATIONS AND/OR FAMILIES.
