Leadership. . . what is
it and do I have it? Webster defines the term "lead" as, "to show the way, or
direct the course of by going before, to conduct and to guide". Leadership
Shiawassee exemplifies this definition and provides a mechanism to develop and
enhance the skills and knowledge necessary for today's leaders to meet the
challenges of tomorrow's workplace and community. Good leaders know the
importance of lifelong learning and networking. Leadership Shiawassee provides
both by connecting you with emerging and established leaders who will provide
their expertise to the program. These community leaders represent business,
education, healthcare, government and human service sectors.
Leadership Shiawassee is
a nine-month program, meeting monthly at a variety of locations. Our home base
will be Baker College of Owosso with other locations and field trips to be
announced. You will learn leadership principles, skill sets and how to apply
them to your career and community service. The total program runs from September
to May each year..

Candidates for the
program are present or emerging leaders from the Shiawassee area's diverse
