Meet the Leadership Shelby County class of 2017
The members of the Leadership Shelby County class of 2017 recently completed their opening retreat, and soon will begin working in groups on a several-month-long process to make Shelby County a better place.
Between now and May 2017, the about 40-member LSC class of 2017 will spend one day each month learning about different aspects of Shelby County. The class also will split up into multiple groups to complete projects aimed at leaving a lasting impact on the county.
For more than 20 years, the LSC program has been preparing Shelby County’s adult leaders for the future while giving them a greater understanding of the places they live and work.
