Leadership Bay County
Leadership Bay County aims to provide the knowledge and motivation needed to lead our community through politics, business and non-profit organizations.
How it Works
Leadership Bay County appeals to people of diverse backgrounds who have an interest in the future of our community. The nine-month curriculum is designed to help participants better understand our community by reviewing its history and examining entities and systems. Speakers from businesses, government, education, law enforcement, natural resources, arts, and human services provide information at each session.
Participants are also challenged to develop leadership skills and contribute to our community by selecting and completing a class project.
Since the program began in 1987, an average of 20 people have attended and graduated from Leadership Bay County each year — and many of these attendees are serving in leadership capacities throughout the community.
CRITERIA
The program has several requirements. Attendance and active participation in the two-day kick-off retreat and at least eight of the nine day-long sessions (one per month) is required, as well as completion of assigned homework.
Leadership Bay County begins each Fall and graduates its participants in late Spring. Application is open to any adult member of the community who is interested in the past, present and future of our community and is looking to become personally involved in leading it. |

What They Are Saying
“Leadership Bay County created a pivotal experience for me in understanding local principles and practices of economy, culture, and social framework. The facts, figures, and insights shared by speakers committed to the community were informative and inspirational. I am now much better prepared to lead in the work of my agency.”
-- Anita Bowden, LBC Class of 2003 • Executive Director of the YWCA of Bay County
