Center for Leadership and Public Life

Today, whether we look in the business world, government, our churches, schools, healthcare system, or civic organizations, it is easier to find examples of failed leadership than instances of inspiring success. Yet the stakes could not be higher. 

We do not need more technical fixes. We need leadership for a change.

While there is much debate about whether or not leadership can be taught, there is no doubt that it can be learned, and the Center for Leadership and Public Life is dedicated to that learning.

The Center serves public servants, aspiring public servants, and all those active in our communities and committed to Community.  A “thoughtful action” rather than a “think tank," the Center is a resource for those eager to enhance leadership skills and be a powerful catalyst for the meaningful and positive change we and our communities need.
