November 2022

Hello from Leadership Unlimited!

Leadership Unlimited will now encompass all our programs, events, and fundraisers, acting as a parent brand which embraces our mission: to educate individuals committed to developing leadership skills to improve our community. While our flagship program, Leadership Tomorrow, remains as present as ever, our new name exemplifies the growth mindset of our dynamic organization.

Our desire has always been to meet the growing needs of our community. As a result, we have developed unique services to educate and empower through cohort environments, provide manageable two-day sessions, events to connect alumni, and much more.

Summit Recap

The Summit focused on retaining talent and building collaborative teams in the workplace while giving attendees tangible take-aways to implement. This year’s keynotes were Jill Christensen and Greg Miyoshi. As well as 9 high level breakout sessions focused on everything from time-management to unconscious bias to accountability. We can't wait to do it all again next year!

Leadership Tomorrow October Session

With a day focused on local government, the class heard from many dedicated leaders, challenging them to broaden their perspectives, learn about election and procedural processes, and evaluate their own ethical guidelines.

Thank you to Paul Hoos Shelter Insurance for being the LT October session partner!

Youth Leadership Tomorrow October Session

The YLT October session was centered on professional preparedness. Class members got to interact with many passionate, involved local leaders, developing skills needed to step into their own professional futures.

Thank you to Chief for being the October Session Partner!
