  • Leadership Academy

    This program is designed to assist in the development of leaders in our community.

    W.K. Kellogg stated, “The purpose of leadership is to create a supportive environment where all people can thrive, and grow and live in peace with one another, thereby providing sustainability for future generations.  It is therefore our desire that once you complete the leadership academy you
    will become actively involved in improving our community.”
