Since 1996, Leadership Monadnock, the Greater Monadnock Collaborative’s signature leadership program, brings together leaders from across the Monadnock Region for a shared exploration of the communities we serve.
Leadership Monadnock is your gateway to a deeply engaging experience in the Monadnock Region, ideal for community leaders looking to become more familiar with this remarkable area. Once a month for nine months, from October to June, you’ll explore the fascinating elements that define this region—think of it as a blend of education and fun! With expert presentations, engaging group discussions, and hands-on activities, you’ll dive into various topics that shape the area’s character. Plus, you’ll have the chance to connect with other influential community leaders from business, government, nonprofits, education, and the arts.
Many local businesses support their team members’ participation in this incredible journey. If you’re interested in joining the next Leadership Monadnock cohort, keep an eye out for our call for applications in August. And if you’re already a graduate, don’t miss the chance to continue the collaboration with your fellow alumni on the LinkedIn Leadership Monadnock Alumni group!
