Also, IU Kokomo recognizes academic achievement in Spring semester
Ivy Tech Community College is accepting applications for the 43rd cohort of the Leadership Kokomo program through June 28.
Since 1982, Leadership Kokomo has been shaping tomorrow’s leaders today. The Leadership Kokomo program brings together a diverse group of existing and emerging community leaders and empowers them to become resourceful stewards of the community through four pillars: community education, core leadership development, supplemental professional development, and civic engagement through nonprofit board service.
The nine-month leadership development program is run through Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo in partnership with the City of Kokomo, Kokomo Thriving Center of Indiana Wesleyan University, and the Greater Kokomo Economic Development Alliance/Greater Kokomo Chamber of Commerce
Participants will benefit from more than 100 hours of professional development within the nine-month program (August 2024 to May 2025) including more than 40 hours of core leadership training (Intrapersonal/self-leadership, group leadership, organizational leadership, and change management). The program also includes more than 45 hours of community engagement education in which participants learn about various key areas of our community and gain an understanding the synergy among them.
Participants also will be able to take advantage of more than 10 hours of supplemental and customizable leadership learning opportunities. The cohort will meet every other Tuesday for half-day sessions (8 a.m. to 12 p.m.) with four scheduled as full days (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).
Amy McCloud, Ivy+ Career Link employer consultant and a member of the 42nd cohort, will co-facilitate the upcoming cohort starting in August.
“Leadership Kokomo is essential to those who really want to get connected with the heart of the community,” McCloud said. “Over the course of nine months, you learn more about yourself, the people who are already influential in making decisions in the community, and how you can walk alongside them and make an impact.”
The cost for the program is $675, which includes LK course material, a full-day retreat at Camp Tecumseh (with lunch), StrengthsFinder 2.0 test code with professional training/coaching on StrengthsFinder, nationally recognized leadership trainers throughout the year, and more.
To learn more or to register for Leadership Kokomo class please visit www.leadershipkokomo.com or reach out to Amy McCloud at amccloud14@ivytech.edu. Registration deadline is June 28.
