About Juneau County Leadership Program

JCLP The Juneau County Leadership Program’s vision is to facilitate the advanced education and empowerment of emerging leaders for professional, personal, and community enrichment. The program’s primary goal is leadership building and the development of each participant’s natural talents.

The Leadership Program welcomes existing and emerging leaders and encourages and celebrates participants’ diversity in race, age, philosophy, location, and personal and professional backgrounds.

The Juneau County Leadership Program meets for 10 months on the third Tuesday of each month (this is a new date this year) with graduation on the last session. It begins with an overnight retreat at a campgroud with cabins. The remaining months consist of one-day workshops, seminars, and/or tours that provide participants access to programs, businesses, communities, and governmental influences in Juneau County, encompassing a broad perspective on personal, political, economic, and social issues affecting the County in classroom settings and field experiences. JCLP participants will receive a heightened awareness of County issues, networking opportunities, and leadership development skills for personal and professional growth
