What Others Are Saying
You will feel inspired! I left every session wanting to be more involved and engaged in my community. I have a deeper understanding of the workings and people behind the “power” – a term we use in the utility industry that also lends itself to the worker bees in our community from government to nonprofits.
This is a great investment to one’s professional growth and development. The program provides exposure to local key leaders and their influences over social, economical and environmental issues within the community we call home. The education received through the program is invaluable and simply can’t be substituted.
