Sep 18    Leadership Winona Registration 2019
The Leadership Winona program is about identifying emerging leaders, broadening knowledge of the community and motivating and inspiring individuals to become leaders at work, in the community or for personal growth. The class runs from September to mid-December.  *Class size is limited to 34 people*

“The Leadership Winona class is a great opportunity for any employer to take advantage of! Our employee, Jessica, was excited for each class and remarked how each topic was unique but useful for her daily work life. It’s also a great way to network with other companies. I personally was a part of this class when it first started and it’s great to hear about the lessons learned and how it has grown!”
