Apply Now for 2015 Neighborhood Leadership Program

Message from neighborhood resident Meredith Donaldson:

The city of Columbia’s Community Development Department is accepting applications for the 2015 Neighborhood Leadership Program.  Each of the four sessions will have two parts — introducing participants to basic functions of local government and a workshop to build leadership skills. All sessions will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Walton Building, 300 S. Providence Road. Dates are Jan. 27, Feb. 10, Feb. 24 and March 10. 

To apply go to www.tinyurl.com/NLP2015. Applicants must submit a $25 fee, but scholarships are available. Application deadline is Monday. For more information, contact Bill Cantin at 573-874-7248 orbpcantin@gocolumbiamo.com.
Several of us from the neighborhood have participated in this program.  I thought I knew a lot about our city and how to make things happen or to get something done.  Well, this program was so informative - there was a lot I did not know! I think every citizen should attend this!
