GDMLI Announces 2015 Community Leadership Program Participants
The fifty individuals selected for inclusion in the Community Leadership Program have been announced by the board of governors of the Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute.
Each individual selected was nominated by an alumnus and vetted in a lengthy and competitive selection process. Members of the 2015 class of leaders represent private, public and nonprofit sectors within the community.
Class members will spend the next nine months engaged in a curriculum that offers a view of Greater Des Moines from divergent vantage points, connecting them with Central Iowa’s past, heightening their awareness of current conditions and challenges, enhancing individual and group leadership skills, and helping members of the class see themselves as partners for change.
