Through in-depth program days focused on arts and culture, healthcare, education, public safety, the environment, business, and economic development, participants gain a comprehensive understanding of how the region functions and how leaders work together to strengthen it.<\/p>\n \u201cLeadership SWFL offers a front row seat to the people and systems that drive our region,\u201d SWFL Inc. announced in a press release. \u201cParticipants meet with decision makers, visit key sites, and learn how our communities operate so they can make a greater impact in their careers and throughout Southwest Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n The program is built on connection as much as education. Each class forms a diverse cohort of professionals who collaborate, share experiences, and build relationships that often extend well beyond the program year.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the friends made to the knowledge gained about how our community operates, I feel prepared to be an ambassador for our local businesses, community organizations, and government in my professional and personal life,\u201d said Maggie Cogbill, Class of 2023.<\/p>\n Who should apply:<\/p>\n Leadership SWFL is ideal for emerging and established professionals who want to expand their influence, strengthen their awareness of regional issues, and connect with leaders across industries.<\/p>\n Application information:<\/p>\n Apply HERE<\/a><\/p>\n To be considered for the program, applications are due March 27.<\/p>\n For more information about Leadership SWFL, contact Katy Johnson at Katy@SWFLInc.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n About SWFL Inc.<\/p>\n
