LEADERSHIP MONROE COUNTY ANNOUNCES CLASS XXXI RECRUITMENT EVENTS

Leadership Monroe County, an educational nonprofit community leadership development organization, will hold recruitment and reception socials for Class XXXI, scheduled to begin this fall. Recruitment socials will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on:

• Tuesday, July 18 in Key West at the Women’s Club, 319 Duval St.

• Wednesday, July 19 in Islamorada at Florida Keys Brewing Company, 200 Morada Way

During each get-together, a brief presentation will be given to introduce the program to interested community leaders. All are welcome for hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.

Established in 1992, Leadership Monroe County was developed to address the rapidly changing needs and concerns of the county, develop a group of well-educated leaders, help guide the community in a positive direction and foster countywide effective and nonpartisan alliances. Through a series of single or multi-day sessions over seven months, participants examine the fundamental public and private segments throughout the county. These experiences help participants grow as Monroe County residents and leaders as well as provide invaluable connections among other leaders across the county.

For more information and a Class XXXI application, visit www. leadershipmonroecounty.org, email info@leadershipmonroecounty.org or call 305-394-3804 to speak with program coordinator Michael Shields. Applications will open July 1 and will be accepted until August 14.
