Leadership Upper Bucks (LUB)

Picture
With a goal to inspire emerging leaders and develop their potential for community leadership, we have, since our inaugural class of 2011, graduated 33 participants from the program thanks to the support of previous graduates and businesses like yours. 

Leadership Upper Bucks incorporates leadership development with learning about community issues. A strong self-assessment component helps participants understand how their behavioral styles and talents affect the way they lead. Program topics build on this strengths-based model so graduates are equipped to be effective leaders in their organizations and in the communities where they live and work.

Participants in Leadership Upper Bucks will develop leadership skills, learn how to use community impact models to affect change, practive their new skills on a company project, and meet public and private sector leaders.

Registration now open for the 2017 session.
