Blossom Rock Leadership
Growing leaders in your community
Launching soon, Blossom Rock Leadership inspires residents to actively contribute to creating a welcoming and connected community with purpose. It is a meaningful way to get to know neighbors and build friendships. And finally, it’s a great way to learn more about your own values as a person and leader.
Purpose
To offer a valuable opportunity for residents to engage with one another and their community in an enriching way; the program establishes a strong foundation and tradition for resident leadership now and into the future.
Length & format
Blossom Rock Leadership sessions run for 10 months every year. The core program classes are held once a month (generally the third Tuesday, with the exception of a few classes) from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The next class will convene on February 16. In addition to the classes, several special activities are planned such as tours, social outings, and workshops.
While Blossom Rock Leadership does require an investment of time and an on-going leadership commitment, there is no cost to residents to participate.
Topics & speakers
The core program focuses on personal leadership development; gaining a deeper understanding of the Blossom Rock vision and community plan; learning more about economic development strategies in the Southeast Valley; and exploring other current issues that impact Blossom Rock, the region, and the state.
The special activities will offer opportunities to experience points of pride in your community and be introduced to leaders in a variety of public, non-profit, education, and business arenas.
