New Beginnings

Greetings!

This has been an interesting period of transition from serving as Executive Director at The Civic Leadership Training Council (CLTC) to Facilitator (pending) for the Leadership 2000 program there and starting as Co-Director of the Coro Program at The Center for Leadership at Park University.

I've been fortunate to have had strong contracts with several area organizations during the past several months. This has provided a consistent focus for me and has given me a sense of continuity in a community I love, while helping me expand my involvement in a new exciting initiative on the other side of the state line, in Missouri.

Kansas City, Kan. —

The governing body of Leadership 2000, The Civic Leadership Training Council, is announcing the resignation of Don Wise, former Executive Director of the program. Don has accepted a position with Park University’s Center for Leadership and will be working with former Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, The Honorable Kay Barnes at that university’s Hauptmann School for Public Affairs. The Leadership 2000 program will continue the nationally respected leadership development program for which it is known and the efforts will be directed by the Board of Directors, as always.
Work has begun on the search for a contract facilitator for the 10 month program. Applications are now being accepted for Class XXIV and the forms may be found on the Leadership Web site at http://www.leadershipwyco.org/ Now in its 24th year, Leadership 2000 is a civic leadership training program designed to identify, motivate and develop new and emerging community leaders for shaping our community’s future.

Congratulations to Don Wise on accepting this new challenge.

I love Kansas City, Kansas.
