18 Dec What will I gain from participating?
Participation in the flagship program of Leadership Knoxville offers a unique opportunity to be part of a ten-month experience during which you will develop your skills as a leader and learn more about Knoxville. In addition, you will have the opportunity to network and form lifetime friendships with a cross section of the Knoxville population.
At the end of the year, most graduates say that their Leadership Knoxville experience has been a “game changer” for them both personally and professionally. Many say they have learned more about themselves personally and they have enhanced their skill set of leading their respective organizations. Almost all graduates agree that they have learned something new about their community and they have a greater understanding of servant leadership. Many come to understand the value of collaborating with diverse partners from across the city to accomplish their goals and a greatly expanded network of professional colleagues to serve as resources in their endeavors. Many end the year committed to being involved in their communities in even more meaningful ways, including being inspired to engage in public service.
One key component of the Leadership Knoxville experience is the relationships formed and the ability to expand your network across a diverse spectrum of leaders in the community. Your involvement as an Alumnus offers the opportunity to participate in educational, social, and networking events. The Alumni Association offers access to special educational, social and networking events, and many other Leadership Knoxville programs. LK Alumni find that they are part of an ever-expanding network of leaders that they can engage with for both professional and personal benefit for both themselves and their respective sponsoring organizations.
