2008
Event Details
While the profile
of Chapel Hill and Carrboro is always in flux, there
remains a constant need for talented leaders. Leadership
Chapel Hill-Carrboro is a program designed to ensure
that there is a pool of Leadership talent for our future.
Participants will learn about the social, cultural,
political and economic facets of the community from
today’s leaders. Through exchange of ideas, community
experiences and leadership skills building sessions,
participants begin to develop specific interests in
the concerns of their community and emerge equipped
with the skills and knowledge to impact their communities.
Leadership participants complete the Leadership “Passport,”
an agenda of community projects and exercises, as well
as the Small Miracles® project, which pairs Leadership
students with area non-profit organizations to learn
about their missions and needs. |
