Take a BOLD Leap Forward! — Leadership Boulder County 2007
Now in its 26th year, Leadership Boulder County is a five month program that, introduces participants to prominent leaders in their community and educates them about a wide variety of Boulder County programs and institutions. The program focuses on local and regional issues and participants are exposed to a variety of leadership styles.

Leadership Boulder County sessions are held every other week from January thru May and participants are required to complete a group community service project. Sessions involve interaction with elected officials and leaders, panel presentations, question and answer sessions and tours of key facilities throughout Boulder County, including the jail, newspaper offices, Boulder Community Hospital and the Boulder County Recycling and Composting Center.

What's Different this year
This year participants will have the opportunity to do some prep work prior to each session. “We wanted to add a more interactive element and give people the opportunity to learn on their own prior to each session. That way, they can make the most of their time with the leaders in that particular area of our community, “ states Alice Swanson, Chamber staff person. For example, prior to the Criminal Justice session, participants will be able to sign up for ride along with local police officers and prior to the City/County Government session, they will attend a city council meeting .

The deadline for applying to the Leadership Boulder County class of 2007 is December 4 and applications are available from the Boulder Chamber of Commerce as well as online at www.boulderchamber.com .
