The deadline to apply for the Leadership Northwest Missouri Class of 2013 is fast approaching. Board Co-Chair Steve Holt says the number in the program varies from year to year, to a high of 27 in 2007 and 22 last year. The six-month program provides leadership training aimed at improving communities across the 17-county Northwest Missouri region.

Holt says Leadership Northwest Missouri is similar to Leadership Saint Joseph, but with a regional emphasis. The deadline for “early bird” registration is December 1. For more information click here.
