LFS Adult Class

Leadership for Five Seasons develops future leaders for our community

The Adult Leadership for Five Seasons program is a 10-month experience limited to 35 selected applicants each year that runs from August through May. Adult LFS empowers participants with a comprehensive understanding of our community’s challenges and opportunities, while also providing broader knowledge of our region and the role future leaders can play as engaged citizens. Participants spend one Friday each month, outside of work, participating in customized leadership training and traveling within the city to learn about different aspects of the community. See below for the list of “industry days” and other commitments that each class member will participate in.
