We celebrated the Leadership Venango Class of 2020 on June 10 with a virtual ceremony held over Zoom. This year’s class has been flexible and adapted quickly to the changes presented by COVID-19, meeting virtually for the last four sessions of the program.

Each year, the class identifies a community challenge and works in small teams on projects to address community needs. The theme for this year’s projects was communications.

Each team was given a different perspective to focus on, including youth, community, and business. The teams presented their projects prior to graduation and we will be sharing more details in upcoming newsletters.

Apply for the Class of 2021

We are now accepting applications for next year’s class. While we are expecting to begin the nine month program in September, details will depend on the size of the class and take the safety of all participants into highest consideration.

Applications can be found online at leadershipvenango.org or in inside the newsletter as an insert and will be due on August 14. For more information on joining the Leadership Venango class of 2021, visit leadershipvenango.org.
