The Leadership Academy's goal is to raise the level of civic engagement
and cross-sector collaboration in MetroWest. We do this by:
EMPOWERING
The Leadership Academy empowers participating fellows with the knowledge
and confidence to be effective community leaders. The program encourages
citizens from every walk of life to rise to the challenge of community leadership.
ENLIGHTENING
Each year the Academy brings together 25-30 of the region’s established and
emerging leaders from business, municipal government, education, nonprofits,
and community organizations to offer them an enlightened perspective of the
institutions, challenges and opportunities in MetroWest.
EXPLORING
During a two-day retreat and nine monthly program days, the curriculum
explores regional issues such as government, economy, education, public
safety, arts and culture, environment, health, housing, and transportation.
ENGAGING
Leadership Academy fellows engage in site visits and discussions with local and
state leaders and experts, gain insight into current issues and experience
diverse schools of thought while learning more about personal leadership
styles and teamwork.
EMERGING
Graduates emerge knowing how to get themselves or their organizations
involved in community volunteering and civic affairs, and they become a part of
our Alumni Association – a unique resource network of 500+ “uncommon
leaders serving the common good.”
