What Do Community Leaders Say About The Program?
The Leadership Los Alamos Program is supported and endorsed by both private sector and government community leaders.
“Inspiring others to make Los Alamos a better place to live, work and play is what Leadership Los Alamos is all about. There is no better investment for Los Alamos National Bank.” — Steve Wells, President and Principal Executive Officer of LANB
“Leadership Los Alamos has been a great partner and resource for educating community members (including our staff). Their curriculum utilizes issues of local interest to demonstrate their goal of developing present and future community leaders.” — Harry Burgess, Los Alamos County Administrator
“Although we live in a government town, I found that the discussions at the Leadership Los Alamos sessions were more relevant and focused on small business concerns than I ever experienced in an institutional setting like the Lab or County.” — Roger Waterman, Owner of TRK
“Leadership Los Alamos provides an exceptional opportunity for Bandelier staff to integrate and network into the community. Having staff working with the range of local organizations and events only serves to strengthen partnerships and work for the common good.” — Jason Lott, Superintendent of Bandelier
Vision & Mission
Los Alamos’ future prosperity is directly dependent upon the quality and contributions of its leadership. Leadership Los Alamos recognizes the need for educating existing and emerging leaders and providing them with effective tools to develop initiatives that will enhance the quality of life and address social and economic issues in the Los Alamos area. Every responsible, informed, and dedicated individual can have a great impact on the future of Los Alamos.
We must expand the circle of leadership in the community by looking beyond traditional networks for the talent and creativity we need. Then we must create opportunities that encourage commitment and action from more people. Leadership Los Alamos is successfully addressing these challenges. Our role is to make sure that future leaders gain exposure to the most pressing issues and access to leadership opportunities.
By engaging people in solution-seeking communication, Leadership Los Alamos encourages program graduates to develop networks for effective leadership and assume leadership roles on issues affecting the Los Alamos community and surrounding area.
