The Leadership Duluth Program
Developed by the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Duluth is a ten-month, comprehensive leadership training program. Leadership Duluth educates participants about Duluth’s cultural and business history, as well as the current issues facing the Duluth area. The program focuses on the elements necessary to develop leaders who are invested in community health. The comprehensive format includes an orientation, overnight leadership advance, and nine day sessions, all of which are oriented towards helping participants acquire and cultivate leadership skills.

Leadership Knowledge to Action
Through a combination of educational and practical experiences, Leadership Duluth provides participants a vehicle to develop and enhance their leadership skills. Throughout the course of the program, participants are introduced to various aspects of the Duluth area and are given insight into the components of a healthy community. Participants will be charged with the task of developing and completing group community service projects and will have regular opportunities to collaborate with one another, so as to benefit from the collective experience of the class. Finally, participants are encouraged to take a leading role in impacting positive change in their own workplaces and in the larger community. This is Leadership Duluth’s call to action and is an integral part of the program.
