Summer 2008, Volume 1.4

Leadership SouthCoast's mission is to provide our region with and ongoing source of diverse leaders, who are prepared and committed to serve as catalysts and sustainers of positive change for the quality of life on the SouthCoast of Massachusetts.

Leadership SouthCoast selects a diverse group of acknowledged and aspiring leaders to participate in a 10-month community leadership program. Participants are challenged by a variety of issues presented by leaders and experts in their fields. The purpose of the program is to transform a highly motivated group of individuals into a network of leaders with knowledge and commitment that benefits their community.

This year the Leadership SouthCoast Class of 2008 included YWCA Board Member, Yolanda M. Dennis; YWCA Executive Director, Gail M. Fortes; and YWCA Board Member, Marie-Frances Rivera.
