Applications accepted for Leadership Oklahoma Class XXIX

Leadership Oklahoma, a statewide leadership program in its twenty-eighth year, is now accepting applications for its 2015-2016 class.

The organization accepts a class of 52 members each year. Criterion for selection includes demonstrated leadership on the part of applicants in their communities and state.

The program is designed to be a series of issue-oriented forums and experiences, which are based on the belief that knowledge is a key element and prime motivator of leadership. It consists of an orientation session, a mandatory two-day retreat and eight monthly two-day sessions. Classes are held in various locations across the state that best relate to the issues being discussed.

“Leadership Oklahoma and its graduates are making a positive difference in Oklahoma,” said Ann Ackerman, Chief Executive Officer of Leadership Oklahoma. “By learning about the issues that impact our state socially, economically and environmentally, class members are motivated to fulfill our mission of creating a dynamic network of leaders whose increased awareness and commitment to service will energize Oklahomans to shape their state’s future.”

Applications may be downloaded from the Leadership Oklahoma website at www.leadershipoklahoma.com. Completed applications must be received in the Leadership Oklahoma office no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 1.
