 Leadership Monroe County, the premier educational non-profit community leadership organization, announces its thirty-second year of programs with the selection of Class XXXII.
The LMC program is aimed at residents who are active in leadership roles within the private sector, government, or community organizations. Through a series of single or multi-day sessions over eight months, participants examine the fundamental public and private segments throughout the county. The program also provides participants the opportunity for mutual awareness and discussion of issues impacting the Keys. These unique experiences help participants grow as Monroe County residents and leaders as well as provide invaluable connections among other leaders across the county. Sessions will begin September 13 in Key West with subsequent monthly classes throughout the Keys, culminating with graduation in May, 2025. Sessions are led by experts and leaders in the respective fields covered in each session. The nine sessions include focusing on the challenges and opportunities that confront the dynamic tourism industry and the Keys economy, vital environmental issues from the Everglades to Florida Bay and the coral reefs, the Monroe County education system, the multi-levels of government, the judiciary and law enforcement system, the historical and present military significance in the Keys, emergency management and emerging best practices, an examination of the Keys health care and human services, the increasing impact of the arts and creative industries, the non-profit sectors, and the rapidly changing media platforms that inform the citizenry and affect and influence public policy. Established in 1992 to address the rapidly changing needs and concerns of the county, develop a group of well-educated leaders, help guide the community in a positive direction, and foster county-wide effective and non-partisan alliances, Leadership Monroe County is an independent non-profit, governed by a county-wide alumni member Board of Directors.
