Throughout the next year, the 50 selected participants will train and study the art of effective leadership through lectures, dialogues and retreats. The goal of their time with Leadership Cobb is to push their own self-discovery, expand upon their pre-existing talents/skills and to take their leadership abilities from potential to powerful.
Leadership Cobb began in 1983 and continues to this day to be one of the most respected leadership programs in the state.
