The 11-month LGM program features innovative monthly sessions held on the fourth Tuesday of the month. LGM’s flexibility provides rich and relevant civic education and leadership skill training. Sessions have historically been held at various locations across the community that enhance the learning experience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, sessions have been held virtually and at safe, socially-distanced outdoor locations. Members also participate in substantive team projects that focus on addressing important public issues. The program’s nimble curriculum reflects contemporary issues and frequently considers topics such as local government operations, K12 education, taxes, social services, veterans concerns, racial disparity, workforce and economic development and quality of life. The non-partisan, objective nature of the program provides participants with the opportunity for unique perspectives and insights of complicated community issues.
