Leadership Anchorage is a nationally recognized, rigorous program for adults. Leadership Anchorage is designed to introduce the “emerging leaders” of non-profit, neighborhood, and ethnic organizations to accomplished professionals and civic leaders in Anchorage and Alaska. Our goal is to make sure these emerging voices are heard and are at the table in the mix of Anchorage decision-making. After 13 years, more than 240 graduates, and recognition as one of the top civic leadership programs in the country, the program continues to grow and expand its reach. Program participants over nine months experience a two-day retreat and nine rigorous, full-day sessions (mostly on Saturdays). These sessions include speaker presentations from established leaders in the community, readings in the humanities and on leadership as well as group dynamic learning exercises designed to facilitate the development of critical leadership skill sets.
The cornerstones of LA’s curriculum are a one-on-one mentorship program, and a community service group project. The goal: more effective community leadership with a wider and more diverse network of connections.
