Duluth Accepting Applications for Leadership (L.E.A.D.) Program

Duluth is now accepting applications for the Sixth Annual L.E.A.D. (Learn, Engage, Advance Duluth) Academy.

L.E.A.D. is a program that offers a way for citizens to become knowledgeable about city government operations, services, functions, and responsibilities. 

Additionally, citizens have the opportunity to interact with elected officials and city staff. Class participants are afforded the opportunity to ask questions and gain a better understanding of local government and their role in it.

The leadership program encourages citizens to serve on various boards and committees and explore other opportunities in the city to become involved. The citizens and business leaders who participate provide input on solutions to important community issues and help plan the city’s future.

Participating in the L.E.A.D. Academy requires a commitment of time and interest. The six-week program begins Tuesday, Sept. 24,, and continues each Tuesday through October 29 from 6-9 p.m.

Applications are available online at www.duluthga.net (click the Community Tab/Get Involved/ L.E.A.D.) or at Duluth City Hall. The deadline for applications is Friday, Aug. 30.  For more information contact Alisa Williams at awilliams@duluthga.net or 678-475-3506.
