Do you need another reason?

July 17th, 2009

Are you still looking for more reasons to apply to the Wells County Leadership Academy? Previous posts have shown what a couple of former participants have said about the benefits. But let me tell you now about some of the classes and instructors.

First of all, this curriculum was written by Dr. Tim Elmore of the Growing Leaders organization. He did this for Huntington University’s Center for Leadership Studies in partnership with the Wells County Leadership Academy. This curriculum follows along with the Habitudes theme. Each lesson is presented with a graphical depiction to help cement the concept in your mind.

Second of all, we use local community leaders. This is a great opportunity for participants to get to know some of the local leaders. Trainers include names like Mayor Ted Ellis, John Whicker (Bi-County Services), Mike Row (Wells County Economic Development), Tamra Boucher (Bluffton Regional Medical Center), Leon Gerber (Christian Care Retirement Center), Tony Garton (retired BHS), Judi Merkel (retired Purdue Extension), Roger Sherer (Purdue Extension), Mark Miller (News-Banner Publications), Jim Schwartzkopf (retired SWS), Pamela Beckford (United Way) and State Senator Travis Holdman.

These trainers bring leadership concepts and principles to life through the use of interactive discussions and multi-media presentations.

Classes will meet on the second Wednesday of each month, beginning on September 9 from 8:00 to noon. You can download an application. Class size is limited and applications are due by July 31. For questions, please call Pamela at 824-5589.
