What is the purpose of the Leadership San Clemente Educational Program?
|
The direction and success of a community is
determined by the effectiveness of its leaders and informed citizenry. The goal
of Leadership San Clemente is to establish an educational forum that
will provide San Clemente residents the knowledge and skills to address
community issues and to work together for the enhancement of our community.
Through this forum, Leadership San Clemente
seeks to:
-
Heighten awareness and understanding of the
community through exposure to current and future issues of importance facing
our community.
-
Empower San Clemente residents with a
knowledge of the community and the role local government plays in the
community, so that they can effectively share that knowledge with others.
