Mission

To provide an educational program where individuals practice leadership skills, deepen their understanding of community issues and prepare for leadership roles, thereby creating a network of individuals committed to the future of Green County.

Program Overview

Green County Leaders is designed to build community leadership. Participants meet for an evening orientation (August), nine all-day sessions (September through May), and an evening graduation (May). Sessions focus on building community leadership skills (i.e. consensus building, decision-making, team building) and raising awareness of community issues (i.e. Healthcare, Economic Development, Land Use). Participants also learn about the history, structure and resources of Green County communities. The program is made possible through a partnership of the Green County Development Corporation, UW-Extension Green County, the Monroe Campus of Blackhawk Technical College, and Local Business and Government Stakeholders.
