Happy 20th Anniversary Gilbert Leadership!
It was 20 years ago that four visionary women were dreaming of what their community could become and how to develop leaders who could serve in a variety of ways. And 20 leadership classes later we have established a program of excellence that has graduated over 400 leaders who are actively giving back to their community. A huge thanks goes to Kathy Tilque, Linda Abbott, Lorraine Bergman, and Debra May Himes for daring to dream big 20 years ago and kick start this leadership program.
As Gilbert Leadership enters its 20th year, we continue to strive to be one of the best leadership programs in the country. The Board constantly fine tunes each of the nine issue days so that the material presented is relevant to what is happening in our ever-changing community. This program has grown to include everything from history to public safety to government to the arts in Gilbert. It covers economic development, education, health care and social services, team building, and leadership skills. The year culminates in a class project that meets some need in the community. Gilbert leadership has left its mark on our Town each and every year. Each graduating class of approximately 25 participants leaves the program armed with information and contacts so they can turn around and give back to their community and become the leaders of today and tomorrow.
Our Town faces many challenges, and the answers aren’t always going to be easy to find. The talented leaders our program develops are primed to step into roles in our Town that will keep us moving forward and continue to be a community of excellence. Whether it be on the town council, citizen advisory boards, nonprofit community boards, home owners associations, parent teacher organizations, church councils, or other groups in the community, you will probably find a graduate of the Gilbert Leadership program in the ranks. Please consider applying for the next class by following the application link. You can be part of leaving a legacy in the Town of Gilbert. As a proud member of Class XIV, I can say without a doubt, it will be one of the best things you’ve ever done!
