Leadership and Community Seminar

The LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY SEMINAR sponsored in large part by Farm Credit Services was held in Tomahawk, September 12-15 organized by seminar Co-chairs, Boyd Rossing Community Development Specialist, UW-Madison and Larry Swain, Community Development Specialist UW-River Falls. The theme was Leadership for Community Building, Action and Change. The seminar helped participants identify their individual leadership values, beliefs and practices in order to become more effective leaders. The seminar also expanded participant's knowledge and skills for effective collaborative leadership dealing with diverse interests. Participants who deepen their sense of leadership direction and who possess skills in effective collaborative leadership will be better prepared to take on leadership roles that serve their local communities well.
