Open House on Orcas Island Oct. 13

From Morgan Meadows, Co-Director, Leadership San Juan Islands

Leadership San Juan Islands (LSJI) invites islanders to participate in its yearly, five-month professional development program. Participants engage in 11 sessions from January to May. If you have ever had thoughts of becoming more knowledgeable and skilled at getting things done in the county, please come to the 10th Anniversary Open House event.

This Sunday, October 13th, there will be an Open House from 1-3:30 p.m. at Heartwood House, 70 Langell Lane, Eastsound.

Multiple businesses and agencies across the county play an essential part in the success of the program. Individuals and organizations willing to offer fiscal support are encouraged to come and ask questions about the significance of the program for our county. Sponsorships can be provided to students by an employer, a local nonprofit, or other community member.

Applications to the 2014 Cohort X class are available at the Open House or as a download from the website. Deadline for submissions is October 31,2013. For more information: https://www.lsji.org
