The Allegan County Leadership Program (ACLP), program of Allegan County Community Foundation, cultivates collaborative leaders dedicated to a thriving Allegan County. Through site visits and conversations with local businesses, leaders, non-profits, and community members, ACLP supports leadership development, essential for building sustainable, healthy communities. This dynamic eight-month program offers leaders from various sectors a comprehensive understanding of key community issues, challenges, and solutions. ACLP provides guidance, tools, and opportunities to build professional networks and engage in local leadership and board roles.
All meetings will take place the 2nd Thursday of the month except March 19th and during the month of May. Please allow a full day for each meeting (9-3). Please note some sessions may end earlier. Attendance at each meeting is mandatory. A $90 program fee per participant is required and covers all refreshments and program materials. Email achappell@alleganfoundation.org with questions.
