Participants are immersed in opportunities that prepare and nurture innovative thinkers to inspire and lead civic organizations.

Experts in the fields of History, Government & Emergency Systems, Biomedical & Healthcare, Community and Economic Development, Technology, Arts & Environment, Military Impact, Education, Human Services, and crucial Board Skills Development are featured throughout the 12 full-day program.
