Over eight months, participants will engage in eight in-person workshops, which will expose participants to key institutions, industry sectors, and business leaders that are the Lansing region's fabric. Workshop themes are centered on levels of leadership influence, education, healthcare, government, economic development, engagement, and quality of life and creating a vision for the region's future. Participants will also be trained on specific leadership skills at each workshop.
