Leadership Duluth Team Develops New L.E.A.D. Scholarship Program
Members of each Leadership Duluth class are asked to coordinate and execute a service project during their program year. The service
project portion of the curriculum is meant to expose Leadership Duluth class members to the various social challenges that affect our community. Class members are tasked with identifying a cause, organization and team to work with to create change.
This year, class members Katie Frank, Chris McCord, Betsy Hill, Michelle Hargrave, Kayla Hertel, Chelsea Buck, Steve Knutson and Tara Sieve selected the Leadership Duluth program as their service project. The like-minded team developed the L.E.A.D scholarship program (Leadership, Empowerment, Advocacy and Diversity) in support of underrepresented com-munities to ensure the Leadership Duluth experience is rich and accessible for all. They believe cost is one factor that hin-ders participation.
The group aims to provide two scholarships per Leadership Duluth program year. You can support their efforts by visiting the Leadership Duluth website – leadershipduluth.com – and submitting a donation. Your support will make a meaningful impact in our community by providing individuals with an equal opportunity to participate in Leadership Duluth. Please join in their efforts by making a donation today!
