COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

Centurions Leadership Program | Spring Cohort | Class of 2021-2022

Access. Insight. Action.

The purpose of the Spring Community Leadership Committee is to provide access to and insight from Kansas City's top leaders and decision makers. Even now, during a pandemic, we're committed to this purpose. We're working to come up with creative and innovative ways for you to engage with regional leaders, and to further understand and develop your own personal approach to leadership. We're excited to learn, serve, and lead with you all. - The Team (Nancy Phelps, Angela Kennedy, John Coler, Mike Kenny, Malinda Kimmel, Jacob Derritt, Charles King, Catie Smith, and Jauqua Preston Wilkins)

We're compiling a list of great leadership resources, including recommendations from the 2020 Centurions Retreat!
