Applications Now Being Accepted for Class of 2012

The Shore Leadership program provides executives and members of senior management from businesses, nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, and professional firms with the opportunity to learn more about the Eastern Shore community--our shared isssues and opportunities--while enhancing your own leadership skills.

Participants in each class are drawn from across the region and cut across social, economic, occupational, and jurisdictional lines. Program alumni return to their communities with a greater appreciation of regional issues and a better understanding of how those issues should best be addressed.

The program takes place over 9 months, from April through December. Participants meet one day each month, except for April, when a two-day overnight retreat is held.

Each session focuses on a topic of regional interest, including legacy/history, technology, economic development, community and arts, environment, education, and government. Continuing education units are available.

Applications are now being accepted for the class of 2012. The deadline to apply was December 1, 2011 but is being extended. Applicants will be notified via email if they have been selected for the class.

Tuition is $2,400 ($2,200 if you or your company belongs to a chamber of commerce on the Eastern Shore), plus a $150 application fee.
