LEADERSHIP SEVIER

Leadership Sevier is our flagship program. It involves specialized leadership training to increase the skills and talents of individuals currently working in a leadership role.

It begins with a two-day orientation and training session in March. During these first two days, participants experience a DISC Personality profile and team building activities.

Throughout daylong monthly sessions (April – November), participants experience a comprehensive learning environment. The program focuses on the dynamics of the community and a cross-sectional view of the most salient public issues. Program sessions are held throughout Sevier County to provide participants with a broad geographic perspective.

“I didn’t really know what to expect going into this program, but it has been one of the best experiences of my life. Anyone who gets the opportunity to go through it really needs to. I thought I had a clue about how our county operated, I didn’t. It was amazing to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff; plus, I met some really incredible people along the way. So glad I was part of the #bestclassever; we even have the plaque to prove it!” Melissa Moon – Leadership Sevier Class of 2017
