Leadership Duluth

Leadership Duluth
Leadership Duluth is our community’s premier leadership development program.  Designed to identify, orient, develop and network existing and emerging leaders, Leadership Duluth inspires participants to take an active role in ensuring the health and prosperity of our area.

A Healthy Community: The Big Picture

Invite participants to work together to foster and facilitate positive change in their workplaces and in the community.
Equip participants with skills that will assist them in being more effective leaders in the workplace and in the community.
