HISTORY

Leadership North Augusta is a program that came out of the North Augusta FORWARD Strategic Planning Process. We conducted one on one interviews with over 50 community/corporate leaders as well as several public meetings to determine the needs of the community.

GOAL:

To identify, develop and cultivate leaders in the North Augusta Community.

BENEFITS:

●Exposure to local and regional issues

●Learn critical issues of the community

●Develop a diverse communication network

●Provide a resource pool for the benefit of the community

●Refine leadership skills

PROGRAM FORMAT

Classes of approximately 10-12 participants will be chosen from applications submitted from potential leaders in the North Augusta Community.

For nine months, the group will meet the SECOND Wednesday of each month from 8:30am to 5pm to explore issues, problems, and opportunities facing North Augusta. This year, 2017-2018, will also focus on a Leadership reading and lecture series. Students will have homework reading, as well as a class project decided on by the participants with assistance from the LNA Board.
