Leadership Sioux Center is pleased to announce those accepted to participate in the Leadership Sioux Center program for 2024-2025. Leadership Sioux Center is an educational program intended for Sioux Center area citizens who have an interest in their community, their leaders and institutions, their decision-making processes and specific leadership opportunities available in Sioux Center.
Leadership Sioux Center is excited to celebrate its 11th year with nearly 200 individuals graduating from the program since it began in 2014. “The application process remains very competitive, and we again received a high number of quality applicants. It’s encouraging to see the continued and strong interest in the program. The LSC Advisory Team strives to choose a diverse group of participants who will each bring their own unique perspective, skill sets and personal experience to the program,” states Chamber CEO, Barb Den Herder.
Leadership Sioux Center will use the community as its classroom with the first session being held at The Ridge Golf Club. This session will focus on Sioux Center Land Development, joint-use, how growth and development occur in the Sioux Center community, and an introduction to personal leadership development. Class members will also take part in several team building and networking activities throughout the eight-month program.
