Leadership - Catagory 7
Here’s the last set of questions for February - I’ll answer one to get the ball rolling, I’m hoping someone else will answer them also. Either add to the post or click and enter under comments.
Category 7: Taking action on leadership How has your community leadership expanded? What changes have been made in who is now involved in leadership positions?
Are more people participating in leadership? From my view, many folks have been inspired enough by the ideas of Horizons to take part when they might normally not. I think in general, there’s a core group in town that participates in many orgs, so burnout of long time members and recruitment of new members for any group seems to be an ongoing struggle. Hopefully due to the leadership training new people will feel comfortable enough with their new skills to play more active roles in the community.
Are different kinds of people (representing more sectors or parts of the community) now participating in community leadership?
Does the community leadership reflect the community’s demographic profile?
Are more low income people participating in community leadership?
What changes have been made in the way your community recruits and trains new leaders? Sustains existing leaders?
