WITH OUR TWICE-ANNUAL LEADERSHIP FORUMS, WE IMMERSE PROVEN PROBLEM SOLVERS IN THE ISSUES. WE ARM THEM WITH DATA, INTRODUCE THEM TO THE EXPERTS PROVIDE CONTEXT AND INFORMATION, AND THEN SEND THEM OUT ON "LEARNING JOURNEYS" TO GRAPPLE WITH THE ISSUES AND PROBLEMS FIRST-HAND. WE INSPIRE THESE DIVERSE LEADERS TO BECOME JUST AS PASSIONATE ABOUT CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AS THEY ARE ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE. FOR BOTH EMERGING AND PROVEN LEADERS, OUR BUSINESS/CIVIC LEADERSHIP FORUMS DEVELOP A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHALLENGES IN OUR COMMUNITY AND FOSTER A NEW SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FUTURE.
