The Leadership Clinton County curriculum emphasizes development of individual and team skills.
Through a series of sessions, participants learn and practice public speaking, meeting management, networking, boardsmanship, conflict resolution, issue analysis, and other practical tools for community involvement. Using the community itself for its classroom, sessions focus on different issues facing our community such as health and human services, economic development, education and youth, etc. For more information on Leadership Clinton County, contact April Henry-Bittner at: (570) 748-5782 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
