Our Participants
Leadership Southeast Vermont brings together people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and views, who have a strong interest in becoming active leaders in their communities. Whether you know very little about the community in which you live, or are already a member of numerous committees, you could be a perfect candidate. Prior experience is not necessary. What is required is a genuine concern about the future of Southern Vermont and a willingness to commit to a personal involvement in the shaping of that future.
