WHY DO WE NEED LEADERSHIP IN RUSSELLVILLE?
The Russellville area is one of the major growth areas of Arkansas.
New growth - both in terms of population and economy - means new problems,
major new solutions to these problems and demands the involvement of
informed and caring citizens. LEADERSHIP RUSSELLVILLE will offer
informative learning opportunities in an atmosphere that stimulates
participants to use both new and proven tools to meet the challenges of
today and tomorrow.
WHAT IS THE PROGRAM?
The program consists of approximately thirteen sessions that include a
kick-off retreat and orientation beginning in October. Sessions
start in October and end in June. Included are programs on
government, education, quality of life, healthcare, industrial
development, non-profit agencies, teambuilding and leadership training.
WHAT ARE THE MEETING DATES, AND WHERE?
The program begins in October with a 2-day/1-night kick-off
mandatory retreat and orientation so participants may become better
acquainted with each other. Sessions are to be scheduled each month.
Sessions will be held in various locations suitable for the theme of a
particular session's topic(s).
Applicants should be individuals who want to commit both time and
energy toward involvement in the community, are concerned with community
issues, have a desire for personal growth, and who demonstrate a concern
