"The LEAD Metro North Program is about impact. LEAD will increase individual awareness and impact on our communities. Participants will definitely come away excited and inspired."
"LEAD Metro North fostered relationships with other professionals, empowered conversations with leaders in the region, ignited my connection with the community, and advanced my knowledge of different interconnected industries that are essential to the economic vitality of the state."
"The LEAD program is a unique program that offers leaders from our local businesses an opportunity to learn more about themselves and develop their leadership skills by connecting with other accomplished leaders in our community."
"We've been involved the LEAD Metro North Program and its predecessors since the Bank was founded in 2008. We have sent our leaders and aspiring leaders to the program consistently since then. While each person walks away with a different experience, every one of our team members that have been through the program have grown. We will continue to send people to this program in the future."
“The Leadership class was instrumental in my career as not only was I awarded the Craig Falk Leadership Award from my class, but I was promoted to Fire Chief after the class ended. I have since then been sending 1-2 people each year and believe this class to be of utmost importance to up and coming leaders of our community. I would advise anyone who is considering taking the class to get their application in now."
