Members of the Leadership Champlain Class of 2008 will gain insight
into our community's issues in a unique way: through active learning,
team-based learning, networking and exposure to community leaders. The Leadership
Champlain program incorporates all this into eight day-long seminars, a two-day
overnight retreat and two team projects over the course of the September through
June program year.
Each monthly session is held at a different location, chosen for its connection
to the session's topic. Participants will debate the law with Vermont's
Attorney General at the Edward Costello Courthouse; they will tour the Chittenden
Regional Correctional Facility with the Vermont Commissioner of Corrections;
they will learn about Government and Politics from legislators at the Vermont
State House; they will experience how the media works from inside the newsroom;
they will see first-hand the human service needs in our community and how
they're being met; and they will discuss the critical issue of health
care with our state's leading providers. This unique program will offer
participants a first-hand look inside some of the many institutions that make
up our community.
In the Fall participants will work with a team of classmates, studying leadership
theory and interviewing a prominent community leader about his or her leadership
style. In the Spring, they will engage in community leadership first-hand
through a team project. For this project, they will work with a different
group of classmates, first defining and choosing their project, then implementing
it on behalf of a community non-profit organization.
