Leadership Oneida County
INSPIRING LEADERS TO ENRICH OUR COMMUNITY
A community leadership program since 2010, Leadership Oneida County convenes a cohort of professionals from a variety of business sectors to engage in monthly sessions that expose participants to various areas of our community, challenge their thinking, and inspire them to get involved in improving the quality of life for Oneida County. The program is designed for driven professionals that are committed to personal, professional, and community growth with class sizes being around 20 individuals.
Running from September to May, the monthly gatherings include speakers, team-building activities, interactive lessons, and opportunities to build connections between classmates. The goal is to expose participants to various areas of our community, challenge their thinking and inspire them to get involved in improving the quality of life for everyone in the community.
Details about dates and topics can be found by clicking here. Teams work on a project that benefits the community to raise awareness, solve a community issue, or help meet the needs of a nonprofit organization.
Participants come from a variety of backgrounds. This experience is for those who wish to build strong relationships, will work to improve our community after commencement, and are committed to their own personal and professional development.
