Leadership El Paso is the city's premiere leadership enhancement program. |
|
|
A program of the Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce, Leadership El Paso is a
yearlong immersion into our community’s greatest strengths and weaknesses; its
historic past and promising future. It’s a magnified look at current events in
an arena where key decision-makers and class participants share frank
discussions and creative ideas, forging new partnerships and influential
networks. Now entering its 28th year, Leadership El Paso is looking for the
best the city has to offer. While more than 100 people are expected to apply
this year, only 40 will be selected to participate in the class of 2006.
The deadline to submit applications is Sept. 29, 2006. The class
will be announced by Nov. 9, 2006.

SELECTION:
|
|
The selection of 40 class members is based on proven commitment to community
service. Preference is given those already in leadership, or who are likely to
be tapped for greater community responsibility. Participants will be
representative of our broadly diverse community. |
|
TUITION:
|
|
The tuition of $1,300.00 covers all program costs. In many cases,
employers sponsor the participation of an employee, but a limited number of
partial scholarships are available. Please do not allow the cost of the program
to become the deciding factor in whether you submit an application.

FOCUS:
|
|
During the year, our curriculum focuses on key issues facing our city. Experts
on topics such as economic development, the military, healthcare, social
services and quality of life moderate sessions, while key
decision-makers provide briefings. That allows class members priceless
opportunities to pose in-depth questions and engage in frank discussions on hot
topics and current events.
