MISSION
Leadership SouthCoast’s mission is to provide our region with an
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.
THE
CORE PROGRAM
Each year, Leadership SouthCoast selects a diverse group of acknowledged
and aspiring leaders to participate in a thought-provoking, 10-month
community leadership program consisting of 2 one-day retreats, 8
monthly full-day sessions, and a series of structured small group
team-building activities. Participants are challenged by a variety
of SouthCoast issues presented by leaders and experts in their fields.
The program includes on-site visits, readings, discussion groups,
simulations, and other developmental activities. 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.
