Leadership Tompkins Applicants Wanted

Leadership Tompkins is recruiting participants for its class of 2006-07.

Leadership Tompkins--a program co-sponsored by the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce and Tompkins Cortland Community College--assembles a diverse group of individuals from business, industry, education, non-profit, and government organizations who wish to develop their leadership skills and have a passion for community involvement. The program educates participants about the resources of Tompkins County and the complexity of community service dynamics.

The program is highly experiential and promotes networking among participants, alumni, and community leaders. The $800 tuition, which may be paid by the participant, business or organization (or a combination thereof), covers all costs including the 2-day kick-off Retreat, 16 instructional sessions, tours, events, lunches and a Graduation dinner celebration. A limited number of partial scholarships are available based on financial need.

In addition to educational sessions, the participants form groups around areas of community need and personal passion and complete Community Action Projects. This year we will be soliciting RFPs from community organizations (information to follow under separate cover) to insure that the Projects are meeting the greatest need, are supportable, and are able to be completed within the timeframe of the program.
