Introduce yourself: Name Employer Year graduated from LFC Ask who else is the room is a Leadership Franklin County alumnus – have them stand and stay standing. Ask who has sent employees through the program – have them also stand and remain standing. Ask who has been involved in LFC as a project sponsor, mentor, coach, faculty member, or in some other way involved with the program – have them also stand. Invite everyone in the room to notice how many people present have been impacted by LFC since its inception in 1986.
Leadership Franklin County is composed of 3 programs – Community, Youth, and Advanced. The Youth Program is based on the Community Program and is offered free to 24 10th graders in Franklin County. All Franklin County schools are welcome to participate. The Advanced Program is open to anyone and brings in a National Speaker each year to address Leadership Topics. Speakers have included Lance Secretan, Steve Arneson, & Scott Eblin. The third and oldest program is the Community Program which I am going to speak about today.

Feel free to ad lib about the sessions, but here’s a script if you need it Leadership Styles: Students learn about their own style, the styles of others and how that impacts interactions. Change Management:: Students become aware of their approach and response to change, and how to successfully deal with it. Project Planning: Students learning project planning basics to help them with their projects. Educational Issues: Students visit a county school and learn about issues in education at a variety of levels: elementary, secondary, and higher education, and discuss challenges, successes, and future needs.

DISCUSSION POINTS Class is divided into several project teams. Project Selections come about as a result of Requests For Proposals sent to organizations throughout the County and from past program years. Planning: Students receive training on project planning, have time between their half-day sessions to work on their projects, and also meet outside of program hours. Execution: The goal for all project teams is to select a project that can be implemented before graduation. Some projects, however, take longer. And at times, there are projects that don’t make it to implementation, either because the scope was too large or because of unforeseen circumstances. However everything results in learning, the ultimate goal. Feel free to ad lib about your own project experience here.
