“People can be leaders by virtue of their assigned position, but they can also be leaders because of their willingness to be a positive influence.”
How Your Community Benefits
Communities grow at the pace of their leaders. But leaders can’t simply swap in and out like batteries. The Rural Prosperity Nebraska Leadership Development team works with you and your neighbors to enhance leadership capacity and quality among community residents.
Through local discussions and workshops, as well as state-wide seminars, courses, and networking events that focus on professional and leadership development, our programs increase rural Nebraskans’ capabilities as effective community leaders, and aid in successfully transitioning leadership roles to future generations.
From kickstarting self-sustaining growth to spearheading community development programs that foster greater prosperity, the Leadership Development team’s expertise is dedicated to empowering you not just to thrive in today’s dynamic landscape, but to emerge as a visionary leader that integrates your community’s cultural uniqueness into your journey to the future.
