What is Leadership Susquehanna Valley (LSV)?
LSV brings together men and women from a diverse range of economic, geographic, and educational backgrounds who possess an interest in assuming effective leadership roles. They will experience a range of fields from Health and Human Services, Agriculture, to Local Government, and MORE!
The program attracts individuals who are employed in the private and public sectors, as well as those who are self-employed or retired. Preparing each person for service within the area’s communities by providing training, information, and experience. After having one employee participate in the program, employers often send more because they see the benefits and the leadership growth that result from finishing LSV.
Our active learning program begins with a one-and-a-half-day retreat, followed by eight monthly, day-long sessions including numerous field trips, group projects, and other practical experiences. Program days are interactive, often fascinating and sometimes intense. Participants are expected to attend each of the program days and to contribute consistently to the work of the group.
“There is no way you can be a leader if you’re afraid to lose.”
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
