Selection Process

Tough decisions are required regarding applicants, since virtually all applicants have leadership potential. 

Rather, non-acceptance is most often related to the realities of having to limit the class to thirty individuals, while ensuring a diverse range of perspectives, specifically,

  • With only rare exception, there is typically only one accepted from any one organization or business.  
  • The class is selected to reflect the various demographics and perspectives of the community...   e.g., it won’t have 100% men OR women; it wouldn’t have ten bankers to exclusion of other professions.  

Repeat applications are welcomed!

  • Attendance at all sessions is expected; attendance at the opening retreat and the final session are mandatory.
    Participants missing more than the equivalent of one full day session may be dropped from the program. 
  • If dropped from the program, no portion of the tuition is refundable. 
  • The program culminates with an End of Year Celebration and graduation, involving an after hours program and dinner; it is expected that all participants will attend and participate in the program for that event. 
  • When an individual is selected to participate, (acknowledging that it might have meant some other individual might NOT have had that chance), it is with the expectation that each one who IS selected will actively work to make the best use of the LT experience to participate during the class year, as well as to best serve the community in the time beyond the class experience.
