Selections of participants will be based on criteria specified on the application form. Application deadline is October 1, 2008.
Application
Applications are available at: Lincoln County Extension Offices, Kemmerer Chamber of Commerce, Afton Chamber of Commerce and Cokeville Town Hall (Karla Toomer has applications in Cokeville, as well)
Information taken from the Leadership Institute brochure. Every class has had Cokeville graduates. The first three years the LCLI was an annual event, with two Cokeville graduates the first year, one the second year, and two the third year. Now we have gone to bi-annual. Please consider taking this leadership course. It does not provide specific training (i.e. how to run municipal government) but more in concepts, techniques, and understanding of general leadership skills and abilities.
Many employers are very willing to let their employees have a a paid day off to attend the trainings. Often, employers will cover the $150 cost of LCLI, knowing that the skills their employees gain will benefit everyone. If you are a member of a board or civic group, often they will sponsor individuals.
You do not need to be on a board or government organization currently to apply. "LCLI is open to emerging and established leaders who wish to increase their leadership skills, knowledge and participation in the community"
