The Nappanee Leadership Academy

 

“Leaders are made, not born.  Learning to lead is a lot easier than most of us think it is, because each of us contains the capacity for leadership.” 

--Warren Bennis

 

The Nappanee Leadership Academy is an exciting program sponsored by the Nappanee Public Library and the Nappanee Area Chamber of Commerce.  Through a series of thought-provoking program days, participants prepare themselves to assume leadership roles in our community. 

 

The mission of the Academy is to develop the capacity and commitment of people to recognize, understand and respond to their community’s needs through civic, education, skill building, and service.

 

“Our goal is to encourage those who want to become active in community life, to equip them with knowledge of people, places, and community issues, and then link them with other community leaders.” 

 

The primary objectives of the program are to develop leadership skills and learn how the community works.  Through group projects that develop over the course of 9 months, leadership participants learn the dynamics of making things happen.  Sessions include leadership development exercises and community education.  Participants meet the Mayor, School Superintendent, Legislators, and many other community leaders who serve as presenters on program days.
