PROGRAM
In collaboration with the DeLand & Greater West Volusia Chamber of Commerce and Stetson University, Leadership West Volusia draws together business and community leaders from diverse backgrounds and experiences to learn about challenging community issues while enhancing their leadership skills. Beginning with a Team-Building Workshop, attendees learn to challenge assumptions through both their personal lens, as well as the perspectives of fellow team members. Directed toward area adults who have demonstrated leadership potential and interest in servicing their community, participants will learn about their county and how they might become more engaged citizens.
PROGRAM GOALS
The goal of Leadership West Volusia is to develop a group of people who will provide ongoing leadership in the community. The program will provide opportunities for potential leaders to meet with today's leaders to gain a better understanding of the issues and challenges facing our community. It will also provide educational opportunities to strengthen the leadership and communication skills of participants. Leadership West Volusia is not an action or advocate group; rather, it is a program designed to help the community meet the challenges of the future by assuring well-trained and knowledgeable citizen leaders.
ELIGIBILITY
Individuals who reside or work in the West Volusia area and wish to enhance their leadership potential and service through community involvement are eligible to participate in Leadership West Volusia. The program is designed to benefit attendees from Private - large and small businesses and professionals, Non-Profit - human services agencies, education, religion and community volunteers, and Public - local government, court and judicial and anyone interested in becoming a community volunteer.
