Participants meet once a month, at various locations in the
community, from January - June. Each day-long session addresses
a specific topic in the community and most sessions include
guest speakers, a tour of area facilities and extensive networking
opportunities with other students.
Topics explored include:
• The Nature of Leadership

boards, commissions and volunteer prospects
What can Leadership Canton do for you? Take it from our
distinguished alumni:
“Leadership Canton was an eyeopening experience. If you want to
gain a better understanding of our
local community-based organizations,
educational institutions, governmental
entities and business enterprises there
is no better place than through the
Leadership Canton program.”

• Community Development
“I have worked my entire career in local
government, including a number of
years with Canton Township. However,
I quickly realized that I had a great
deal yet to learn about Canton and
Leadership Canton provided that
opportunity. It was a great experience
and well worth the time and expense.”

“The leadership Canton experience
really showed me how one person
can make a difference. It opened
opportunities that far exceeded my
original expectations and built a
confidence within myself and my abilities
that will serve me for the rest of my life.”
- Bartley Patterson, LC Alumni
