 Program
Leadership Hamilton began in 1990 and is designed to ensure the
continuing vitality of our community by identifying, educating
and motivating emerging leaders. Leadership Hamilton is open to
anyone in the Hamilton area who aspires to or already has talent
for leadership positions in the community.
Throughout the nine month course, participants explore such
issues as: economic development,
education, city government,
criminal justice, health care and social services. During the
full day sessions, participants work together with local leaders
to expand their network of contacts and resources, and increase
their breadth and depth of knowledge about the community.
