LEAD Clermont Class
of 2011 |
|
Leadership is essential to building a strong quality of
life in every community. Without leadership, a community
cannot be a place that matters to the people who live, work or
visit it. More importantly, leadership is the pathway by which
a community sustains itself and supports one generation to the
next.
Clermont 20/20 is now recruiting for its
LEAD Clermont Class of 2011. I invite you to become part of a
learning experience that you'll find valuable to you both
professionally and as a citizen who lives or works in Clermont
County. Each year individuals from business, government,
education, social services and other community organizations
are selected to participate in this 10 month program that
encompasses Clermont County's core elements:
- History
- Education System
- Economic Development
- Government and Infrastructure
- Health and Human Services
- Safety and Justice
LEAD Clermont has a rich history of identifying,
developing and involving current and future leaders in
Clermont County. The program is also accredited for seven
credit hours through the University of Cincinnati Clermont
College. The class meets the first Thursday of each month from
September 2010 through May 2011 as well as a teambuilding
session in late August. The LEAD experience is an opportunity
for class members to network with existing and emerging
community leaders, explore community issues, and provide
leadership and planning assistance to a community project and
class day meetings. The tuition for the program is
$1,750.
A LEAD Clermont brochure and application with syllabus
are available at http://www.clermont2020.org/cli/lead.
Applications are being accepted through May 15, 2010 with the
selection of class members in June. Please feel free to
contact me at 513-753-9222 with any questions.

Leadership
Alumni News & Events |
As a graduate from a Clermont 20/20, Inc.
leadership program, if you have an announcement you
would like to share please send your information to officemgr@clermont2020.org.
This effort is brought to you
by the LEAD Class of 2008.
We wish
the following
Alumni and Friends of Clermont
20/20
a Happy Birthday !!!
Happy Birthday Taurus
(April 20 - May 20)
Underneath their cool, calm and
collected exterior, Taureans manage to discreetly stay
apart from the crowd, even though they have a
well-earned reputation for being socialisers. Some claim
that trying to get your point across to a Taurean,
should they not want to hear you, is rather similar to
talking to the trees - they simply won't budge. Because
they work so hard at completing their goals - especially
in their career - they value a hard-earned buck. They
enjoy the finer things in life - good food and drink and
high-end things for themselves and their home.

Classes to
Begin Fall 2010
 It's official - Industrial Realty
Group LLC (IRG) finalized the acquisition of the former
Ford plant paving the way for the University of
Cincinnati and UC Clermont College to begin offering
classes in the fall of 2010. "I am pleased to
say that UC East is going to become a reality. We plan
on moving swiftly to be able to offer classes this fall
at the new location," said Interim Dean Mick McLaughlin.
UC Clermont College will occupy the first floor
of the building. The second floor will be occupied by
the College of Nursing and Allied Heath offering classes
from their programs. UC signed a lease for approximately
81,000 square feet of space at that Batavia Township
location. |
