Leadership Iowa Falls Experience (LIFE)
Individuals working or living in the Iowa Falls area are encouraged to participate in Leadership Iowa Falls Experience (LIFE). LIFE targets individuals who are in positions of leadership in their organizations or who have “stepped up to the plate” in community roles.
Through this dynamic 8-month learning experience, team members gain:
- greater appreciation of issues facing today's leaders
- applied understanding of one's leadership strengths
- increased confidence for seeking and leading change
- valuable links to people in diverse leadership roles
- interpersonal growth & hands-on practice using leadership skills
- commitment to action for community well-being
The 2011-2012 LIFE participants are selected on the basis of their application, their commitment, and their potential for leadership.
