Leadership Rochester is a nonprofit organization that provides established and emerging leaders with knowledge and access to resources, enabling them to understand and respond to the quality of life challenges facing the Greater Rochester region.
Leadership Rochester has been "creating a Legacy of Leaders" since 1992 and has an alumni network of over 500. Approximately 35-40 people are chosen per year from a selective application and interview process to participate in this nine-month leadership program. Applications are accepted through May for the program that begins in September. Group participants immerse themselves in a topical community issue for one Friday per month. Hands-on activities change monthly, as does the roster of relevant community leaders that offer their insights on a 360-degree view of the topic at hand. Here is a sample listing of program days and their objectives:
-
Opening Retreat - create a climate conducive to establishing a bond of trust, camaraderie and unity among class members. To explore individual roles as leaders in our community.
-
Get Grounded - provide a ‘hands on’ community issues overview and to begin to develop and experience team leadership in small groups.
-
