ABOUT LEADERSHIP WINCHESTER
Leadership Winchester is designed to promote our community by facilitating an
awareness of the many facets of Winchester.
Newcomers to Winchester who have graduated from this program have appreciated
this special introduction to our community. It has given them a chance to see the
many opportunities that are available to a citizen of Winchester, and has afforded
them the occasion to meet people socially as well as to make business contacts.
Winchester`s longtime citizens who have graduated from this program are often
amazed at just how uninformed they are. They discover what their friends actually
do in our many industries, and are able to put faces behind those billboards identifying
the factory, hospital or school.
The Leadership Winchester program can also become an opportunity for a person
to find a place in the community where they can contribute their time or talents.
During each class session, we will emphasize leadership and volunteer positions
in our community.
Participants are required to attend one monthly, day-long session from 8:00 a.m.
- 5:00 p.m. over an eight month period. Areas of study during the sessions are City/County
Services, Health & Human Services, Law & Justice, Education, State Government, Industrial
Development and Agricultural Development. Participants will visit numerous city
and county offices as well as industrial and commercial businesses in Winchester.
Participation is open to anyone living and/or working in Winchester/Clark County.
Selection is determined without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national
origin. Class members are selected by persons outside Clark County, based on information
provided on the class application.
