Leadership Kalamazoo Class of 2023 launched last week!
This is the largest class to date with 48 dynamic and driven individuals who are ready to embark on a 10-month journey of leadership growth and development. Through monthly, highly curated, full-day sessions, participants graduate equipped with a suite of leadership skills tailored to the unique and changing demands leaders face today, including an increased capacity to:
- Lead change effectively
- Coach equally well for performance and development
- Build bridges across generations
- Cultivate high-performance teams, and
- Maximize not only their individual strengths, but others’ strengths as well.
In addition, throughout the program participants gain exposure to diverse community perspectives, exclusive speakers, and unique civic experiences. Graduates put it all into action with an individualized “go strategy” at the conclusion of the program.
Leadership Kalamazoo attracts leaders who are accelerating in their influence, expanding their community-based reach, and wishing to surround themselves with others who are equally motivated to create meaningful impact. The program boasts alumni who have gone on to the highest levels of leadership in business, the social purpose sector, and politics.
Since 1987, Leadership Kalamazoo has been our region’s premier civic leadership development program, attracting leaders from business, non-profit, government, education, and the faith-based community. Leadership Kalamazoo provides a platform for area leaders to expand their knowledge of the greater Kalamazoo community and leadership best practices, while deepening their civic engagement.
