SELECTION CRITERIA

Participation in LEADERSHIP is a competitive process open to individuals living or working in Trigg County. The Selection Committee will select up to (20) participants who represent a cross-section of the community. Applicants must have the full support of the organization or business they represent in order to commit the time and effort required by the program. It is an honor to be chosen for LEADERSHIP;  therefore, there is an expectation that the individual will remain involved in Cadiz and Trigg County in the near future. Selection is based on an application that may be obtained by clicking on the button below and printing and filling out the form, or get an application from the Commerce Center.  The form must be completely filled out and returned by either emailing to the email address below, mailing or by returning to the Commerce Center by the published deadline date of MAY 1, 2020.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

It is an honor to be chosen for the LEADERSHIP program and, as such, attendance at each and every session, class, and activity is mandatory. This includes the opening and closing retreats, the every month class days, and any other time that is required to fulfill the programs, projects, and community service events. If (only for extenuating circumstances) a class member misses an monthly class session, that individual may stay in the class; however, in order to graduate from the program, the missed day must be completed during the following class year. If you or your employer is unable to make this commitment, it is not in your best interest to apply.

A nominal tuition fee is charged for the LEADERSHIP program, which covers all of your meals and instructional materials used throughout the course. The fee is $250 for Chamber members and $300 for non-members. A participant’s employer or business may select to pay the tuition. Tuition deadline is to be announced with acceptance.
