Leadership Akron
Inspires and connects leaders to strengthen the greater Akron community through a variety of learning experiences. Offers participants through each experience a hands-on, behind-the-scenes view of the current focus area; the opportunity to hear from the key influencers and the issues they are confronting; and firsthand accounts from those affected by the decisions and actions. Works to foster a constituency of leaders who place the community ahead of themselves, where these leaders create an impact that is greater than the sum of its parts.
