Leadership Kenosha is a professional development program that focuses on personal and interpersonal skills, team building, conflict management, and communication and presentation skills.
Through a series of nine monthly meetings, participants engage in professional development training and explore segments of the Kenosha County community including local government, law enforcement, human services, health care, education, business and economy, and nonprofit organizations. In addition to attending monthly sessions, participants research and complete a community service team project to gain practical leadership skills, effect change, and enhance awareness of community matters.
The Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce, University of Wisconsin– Parkside, and a consortium of business, education, community and non-profit leaders have teamed together to develop and deliver Leadership Kenosha. The mission of the program is to develop a diverse group of emerging and existing community leaders by enhancing their community knowledge, civic network, and leadership skills to ensure the continuing vitality of the greater Kenosha community. Participants come from all segments of the business and nonprofit community.
