The Board for the Southwest Community Leadership Collaborative
is looking forward to the 14th year of
LEADERSHIP MONTEZUMA
a 9-month "class" for adults in the greater Montezuma and Dolores County area who want to learn more about their community and/or contribute to their community as leaders in myriad ways.
The class is typically comprised of about 20 participants who begin with a weekend retreat (tentatively scheduled for September 11-13) followed by nine one-day classes (the third Thursday of each month) through May. Topics that are covered are relevant to any community, but are addressed by the experts and people of our community. Many relationships are formed, and valuable information is shared! The topics, which are tailored to our region, include Natural Resources, Government, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Economic Development and Tourism, Culture, Health and Human Services, Criminal Justice, Education, and Quality of Life.
LEADERSHIP MONTEZUMA is a non-profit program organized by volunteers. It is truly about our community and the relationships, networks, and synergy that we can create as we become more in touch with the people and organizations around us.
The cost of LEADERSHIP MONTEZUMA is $300 for the entire year. Many employers in the area are supporters and/or alumni of Leadership Montezuma and are willing to share the cost of participation with employees. A limited number of scholarships are also available to help people who would otherwise not be able to attend.
Applications are available at the Cortez Chamber of Commerce or by contacting Robby Henes info@swcommunityleadership.org.
