Applications open for KLC leadership initiative
Published 10/26/2011 in Local News
Kansas organizations interested in punching big holes in the tough public issues they're engaged in can apply for a gift of up to $1 million in intensive leadership training from the Kansas Leadership Center.
Organizations interested in the Academy for Team Leadership are strongly encouraged to attend one of two pre-application workshops set for Friday in Wichita and Nov. 2 in Topeka.
The Academy for Team Leadership initiative, designed to help turn the tide on a tough public issue, involves KLC selecting a Kansas public or nonprofit organization to receive immersion-style, civic leadership training for up to 400 people for up to four years in groups of about 50.
Candidate organizations may range from school districts wanting to boost graduation rates, nonprofits seeking improved health outcomes in their community, economic development groups looking for ways to stimulate business growth, rural municipalities in search of ways to slow the out-migration of their best and brightest young minds, city governments dealing with blighted areas.
Fair-market value for such immersive, extensive training could run somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 per person. KLC used the conservative figure of $2,500 per person to reach the $1 million figure.
KLC asks organizations to submit applications no later than Jan. 13, 2012.
