Three Leadership Opportunities in 2008

The Garden City Leadership Board is offering three leadership opportunities in 2008. Common Ground, which is for program graduates, is where the 21st Century leadership skills and capacities learned in Every Voice are combined with the people, businesses, organizations and community issues of Garden City, along with some experience with the legislative process in Topeka. Common Ground will start January 24 and continue with five other sessions on February 12 & 13, March 27, April 10 & 24 with a graduation ceremony the evening of April 24, 2008. This program is limited to 16 participants and the registration deadline is January 14.

Then, in the summer and fall the Every Voice program, which focuses on developing servant leaders with 21 Century skills and capacities for communicating and working with other people, will be offered again. The skills and capacities are useful individually, at home, at work, and in every situation where you interact with other people. The traditional concept of leadership being a person in a position with authority is expanded to consider that leadership is also serving other people and helping them to succeed.

For more information for both these programs, please see the insert in this month's newsletter. Applications can be obtained by calling the Chamber at 620-276-3264 or e-mailing chamber@gcnet.com. Do not miss these opportunities to take your leadership skills to another level.
