SUNY Potsdam will soon be home to a newly revitalized St. Lawrence Leadership Institute, thanks to a partnership with the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce. To celebrate the relaunch of this initiative, the College is hosting a networking reception on Tuesday, March 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Sergi’s Italian Restaurant Pizzeria & Banquet Hall in Potsdam.
Alumni of the St. Lawrence Leadership Institute, and anyone interested in joining or learning more about the program, are invited to attend. Admission to the reception is free. To register for the event, please visit: www.potsdam.edu/slli.
The St. Lawrence Leadership Institute’s mission is to provide a venue for those committed to the county’s growth and quality of life, where professionals can develop an awareness of the issues facing the county, and dedicate themselves to personal self-discovery and the implementation of leadership skills.
The program will include curriculum developed and taught by experienced SUNY Potsdam faculty, with invited talks and panel discussions featuring community leaders.
In addition to taking advantage of the personal and professional development opportunities presented by SLLI, participants will now also have the option of receiving SUNY Potsdam college credit for some of the coursework in the program as well.
The St. Lawrence Leadership Institute program runs from September to June, with meetings once a month. The revitalized SLLI program will begin this fall. Applications are currently being accepted on a rolling basis, however the initial deadline is June 1. Applications will be accepted, space permitting, until August 1 for the incoming fall class. Class size is limited to 25 participants. For more information about SLLI admission, please visit: www.potsdam.edu/slli/admissions.
