Leadership
Southeast Georgia introduces leaders from the counties within Region
12, including Bulloch County, Effingham County, Screven County, Chatham
County, Liberty County, Long County, McIntosh County, Glynn County,
Camden County and Bryan County to the skills and knowledge necessary
to becoming successful leaders in the broader framework of our Region
and State. The program's design effectively builds on local leadership
development programs and provides an interactive curriculum with
a regional scope. Participants chosen from each Region 12 visit multiple
locations within the Region, allowing participants to see resources
not otherwise evident to visitors. Over the history of these annual
programs, each county has hosted a Leadership Southeast Georgia session,
with every attempt made to include all counties of the Region. At
each of the various session, local community groups introduce participants
to resources within their county and share success stories. Each
session of the program address an issue relevant to the future of
the Region. Past session topics focused on education, healthcare,
the environment, cultural diversity, as well as economic and community
development. A future goal of the progam is the enhancement of each
participant's leadership skills. Sessions include exercises and training
that develop or improve upon participants' teambuilding and analytical
skills, especially in the context of issues that relate to our Region
and State. After completing the program, participants are honored
by Georgia Southern University as graduates from Leadership Southeast
Georgia and join other alumni in training future participants of
the program.
