Cultivating a Better Community.... and Discovering New Horizons

The Polk-Burnett Leadership Academy offers individuals working and living in Polk and Burnett counties the opportunity to change their lives and lives of those in the area around them.

In partnership with the University of Wisconsin Extension, participants meet once per month from September through May. Each day-long session will provide the opportunity for personal and professional growth. In the first session, you will learn to expand and perfect your leadership potential and leadership style. You will learn how to work with others and motivate yourself to take on and solve business and community issues.  

The later sessions will provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into various communities within the Polk-Burnett area. You will meet and interact with the leaders from the region who will present concrete information about local issues of concern.

The session locations will rotate between the two counties. The $300 cost of the program will cover books, materials, meals, and program activities. Attendance at each session is expected. Sessions will be held during the work day. Scholarships are available through the Burnett County Develoment Association and UW - Extension. Call for scholarship requirements.

As a participant, you will leave these intensive hands-on sessions with a solid understanding of who you are, what issues this region faces, and how you can make a difference on the job and in your community.
