Leadership Medina County, Building Dynamic Leaders What is Leadership Medina County? We are a nonprofit, civic education and leadership development organization   Our programs for current and future leaders are designed to examine issues facing Medina County and to encourage positive action.   We believe that community leaders can be developed, that leadership is a lifelong endeavor and strong leadership is vital to a strong Medina County. What is the Purpose of the Programs? Our programs are designed to educate, engage and motivate individuals to assume community leadership roles, thereby strengthening communities, resolving issues, and developing new initiative which ultimately improve the quality of life in Medina County.  We offer the LMC Class Program Year for adults and a modified program year for high school students.  We also provide continuing education, a directory of members and networking opportunities for our alumni who have completed the year. How is this Accomplished? Each year a class of adults is selected to be part of our Class Program Year.  The members are selected from all segments of our county reflecting the diversity in Medina County.   They attend sessions (one day a month) from September through May to learn about their personal leadership styles and to examine issues facing the county in a variety of interesting ways.  Each class also undertakes a Class Project to put their talents and knowledge to good use.   See Application Information from the menu for more details. Alumni can attend programs through out the year that provide education on current issues and leadership skill development.   The "Get On Board" page of the web site offers alumni opportunities for board positions.  Read thealumni newsletter for more information.
