The Leadership Columbus experience is a unique combination of relationship-building, learning, problem-solving, civic engagement and personal growth. The program structure has evolved over the years to truly reflect a product that motivates, informs, and connects individuals ready to take on the challenges and opportunities faced by our community, their companies and their families.
Annually, 55 individuals are selected from a pool of applicants to build a class representative of the Greater Columbus area. The result is a class of professionals who comprise a network of enthusiastic leaders ready to hone their skills and talents and connect them to causes they are passionate about.
A ten month experience designed to give participants the tools they need to become active and influential leaders in the community.
The program is a balanced combination of a retreat, monthly program days and a small group project. In September, a two day retreat helps participants focus on their personal leadership style and skills. The retreat is complemented by 9 monthly program days that focus on the significant challenges to the Central Ohio region. Issues covered include the economy, diversity, the justice system, public education and human and social service issues.
