to find the leadership needed to meet the demands of tomorrow. |

emerging leaders living or working in the Jefferson County area through
an application process and puts them in direct contact with the people and
institutions that shape the community. The program begins in September and

Through contact with a wide range of professionals, participants have the
opportunity to expand their knowledge, meet new contacts and influence their

Leadership
Jefferson County does not advocate programs or particular solutions. Instead,
it seeks to present a wide view of the community resulting in a positive
effect on participants, their organizations and our community.
"Leadership Jefferson County provides the opportunities for individuals
to learn and participate in the various public and private organizations
that affect their quality of life."
