Gulf Coast Community Foundation is accepting applications for the 2019 Gulf Coast Leadership Institute. The deadline to apply for this regional leadership-development program is Friday, March 15, at 11:59 p.m. To learn more and complete the application, go online to GulfCoastCF.org/GCLI.
Gulf Coast Leadership Institute is designed to identify, develop, and connect aspiring and experienced leaders across the Gulf Coast region, from Boca Grande to Manatee County. Gulf Coast Community Foundation will select up to 26 individuals to take part in the 2019 class, which consists of seven training sessions from late April through late June. The foundation has commissioned the Leadership Development Institute of Eckerd College in St. Petersburg to provide this comprehensive training. Gulf Coast offers all training and resources at no cost to selected participants in exchange for their commitment to use their new skills for the long-term benefit of the community through service.
Class members will be selected with the intent of creating a diverse group of individuals representing the region’s public, private, and independent sectors. Selection criteria include leadership potential and participation in community and professional organizations. Applicants must be able to attend all scheduled training sessions to be considered. Professionals as well as community volunteers of all ages are encouraged to apply.
This will be the 12th annual class of Gulf Coast Leadership Institute, which was preceded by two classes of the foundation’s North Port Leadership Institute. In all, more than 300 community members have completed this leadership training to date.
