Signature Program
Each year, Leadership Loudoun selects a diverse group of established and emerging leaders to participate in a thought-provoking, 9-month (September – May) signature leadership development program. The signature program is designed for individuals from corporations, small /entrepreneurial businesses, civic and community organizations and non-profits who are currently serving in a leadership role.
This educational and leadership-based curriculum consists of an overnight retreat, monthly full-day sessions, and a small-group project inspired by countywide issues. These county-wide issues are examined through the perspectives of experts, on-site visits, readings, discussion groups, problem-solving exercises, and other experiential activities.
​
Participation in the signature program opens the door to ongoing personal growth, professional development and community leadership. Graduates join Leadership Loudoun’s network of influential alumni and a culture of community stewardship.
Opening Retreat
Our Signature Program engages a diverse consortium of leaders in a thought-provoking, 9-month educational and community-based curriculum that consists of an overnight retreat, nine monthly full-day sessions, and a small-group project. Each class will participate in an, experiential learning-based leadership education, framed around local issues.
Experiential Learning
Our class day curriculum is developed by using a learner-focused and experiential approach. The program includes visiting local organizations, discussions with thought leaders, and team-oriented problem-solving activities.
Community Service
Our impact projects challenge each group to study issues facing our community and to present workable solutions that can truly make a difference.
Collaboration
We collaborate with local non-profit organizations and business to create unique learning experience and make meaning connections across the county.
