JULY 31, 2013 A7

What is a leader? Is a leader born or made? Is leadership a function of one’s character? Or is it a set of skills that can be taught?

Leadership El Dorado is a year-long program, which meets one day a month to provide education and training to help build El Dorado County’s future leaders. This program is intended to

send a diverse group of highly skilled leaders back into the community – bet-ter skilled, further motivated, with a stronger vision – to lead those around them toward an improved region and a healthier community.

With the knowledge and desire to show the way, a person can be a leader. Knowledge can be acquired, and desire is the result of motivation. A leader-ship program will drive this process by intense classroom activity, participatory sessions, team-action projects, public and private entity site visits, peer-to-peer exchange that promote a stronger social and professional environment.

Does it work? We are in our seventh year and come August’s graduation ceremony we’ll have 168 alumni of the program working in our community, some on local non-pro� t boards and others as successfully elected of� cials. They are a network of special folks sup-porting our community and each other. Yep, it works.

We are now accepting applications for Leadership El Dorado Class Eight. If you would like more information about our program, just contact us at chamber@eldoradocounty.org or download the information and application from our homepage at www.eldoradocounty.org
