Twenty-five future Arizona leaders, drawn from across the state and numerous professions, have been selected to participate in this spring’s inaugural class of the Flinn-Brown Civic Leadership Academy. The Academy is one of three core components of the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership.
The 12-session seminar series, which emphasizes the skills and information needed to accomplish state-level goals, will begin Friday, March 11, continuing through May 20.
The nonpartisan Academy’s content is based on the issues facing Arizona’s leaders today and in the near term. Past and present practitioners, scholars, leaders, and experts—from the public and private sectors—will provide facts and figures as well as a wide variety of perspectives and leadership skills. The seminars are just one part of the academy, which also includes mentoring, an individual plan for civic leadership, and an alumni network.
The 25 Flinn-Brown Fellows were selected in a competitive process that involved formal nominations, a written application, and an in-person interview. The Leadership Council of the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership made the final selection of Fellows.
The Academy is presented twice each year–the Fall class will begin in September. Information about becoming a member of the second Flinn-Brown Civic Leadership Academy will be available on the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership’s website no later than March 1.
