Leadership Marshall recruits new class Organizing committees are putting the final touches
to the Leadership Marshall 2008 curriculum and asking those interested
in participating in a one-of-a-kind community experience to get their
applications in, according to Sarah Sawyer with the leadership steering
committee. The opening two-day retreat has been set for January 24-25 at Kirkwood. Past graduates can expect some changes in the curriculum this year, Sawyer said. “We
are thinking of adding modules on networking, healthy lifestyles, time
management, community service projects, managing conflict, stress
release, and much more. Businesses and
organizations can help promote leadership development within or in the
community at large by sponsoring activities such as luncheons or
scholarships. Sponsoring is a good way of getting a little extra
marketing of the organization or product at no extra cost and at the
same time to promote leadership development. Applications
for enrolling an employee or individual are being accepted at least
until December 15. Don’t miss out on a spectacular way to learn more
about your county and meet new people. For an
application contact Janet Jolley at the MSU Extension Service at
662-252-3541, the Byhalia Chamber at 662-838-8128 or the Holly Springs
Chamber at 662-252-2943. Prospective sponsors can also get a sponsorship form by calling any of the numbers above. One
of the goals of Leadership Marshall is to build a network of community
leaders who can enhance their problem-solving and other leadership
abilities through shared perspectives and teamwork. Your participation counts. “Our motto is ‘Marshall County Leaders of Today with a Vision for Tomorrow.’ ”
