Leadership Portland : Unwrapping our community - exposing complexities - making connections.
About us
Leadership Portland’s goal is to create a community of engaged and informed leaders who are inspired to make a difference in the city of Portland, Maine. The city and its people are the classroom. This comprehensive leadership program is a six-month experiential process for those who want to discover how the Portland community functions and how they can become engaged with that community. We will explore the places, programs, and people who make Portland a vibrant city. Participants will learn: How Portland functions; How to balance competing civic interests and opportunities; and How to connect to and lead critical enterprises. Target participants are people who care about Portland and want to make it a better city. They may be young or old, established or new residents, private citizens or members of the business, nonprofit or governmental communities. The program includes nine interactive days, starting with a team-building retreat, followed by sessions exploring government, justice, business, health, the environment, racial equity and culture. Scholarships will support creating a diverse class with emerging leaders, new Mainers and new to Portland as well as long-time residents. Program objectives: Develop knowledgeable and engaged leaders who can support each other in building a stronger community. Explore issues and opportunities across a variety of topics and cultures.

Applications are OPEN for the Class of 2025. Join our happy alumni that know more about Portland Maine now than most people. Go on. Just ask them. https://lnkd.in/edpxuq-c "Leadership Portland was a program that pushed me to reevaluate how I engage with the city I call home in such a beautiful way. It was full of thought provoking and enlightening program days - each one providing a breadth of knowledge and deeper understanding of place. Now that I know how intricately entangled and interconnected the dynamics of our community are, I realize just how important each voice is and how communication between all is an integral part of change. The need for conduits between organizations, systems, and people is visible and needed. Portland is a vibrant and caring city facing many issues that exist in communities, large and small, across our country. Being involved is paramount. I couldn't recommend the program more highly and would encourage anyone who wants to be more involved in our great city to participate to expand and grow your foundation!"
